2005 Napa Valley Pinot Noir

The Beringer Stanly Ranch Vyd Single Vyd Pinot Noir from the esteemed Napa Valley is a captivating expression of its terroir, showcasing the elegance and complexity that this varietal is renowned for. With a deep ruby color, this wine invites you into its layered bouquet of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and subtle earthiness, complemented by hints of spice and a touch of oak from careful aging. On the palate, it offers a silky mouthfeel, marked by well-integrated tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit. The Acidity is beautifully balanced, lending freshness and ensuring a lively finish that lingers on the taste buds. This wine is deftly dry, making it a versatile food-friendly choice that pairs splendidly with a range of dishes, from roasted meats to grilled vegetables.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
