2016 will go down as one of the great vintages in Napa Valley of the 20th century, maybe only overshadowed by the likes of 2013. The Beringer Private Reserve is an absolute knock-out in this great vintage. This vintage also showcases one of my favorite signatures of this wine...graphite and pencil shavings, something that always reminds me of a wine born from the gravelly soils of Pauillac rather than Napa. We have a small chunk of magnums up for grabs of this incredible wine. Ultra-limited, please click extra quick! While they last!

About The Producer

Beringer is a Napa Valley O.G. – known for establishing many 'firsts', including gravity-fed facilities, which hand-dug their own caves, and even opened up their winery to visiting tourists as far back as 1934. For a century and a half, Beringer has led the way here in the Napa Valley and beyond…and stands as proof that sometimes…just sometimes, legends live up to the hype.
