I recently had the chance to try this extraordinary Chardonnay at a lunch with Beringer's Winemaker, Laurie Cook. "Let the fruit drive what you are doing in both the vineyard and the winery," summed up Laurie's winemaking philosophy and is certainly put into practice in this particular Chardonnay.
Layers of rich concentrated fruit make this wine interesting from the get go. On the nose, expect citrus and stone fruit along with warming oak tones. The palate profile continues with the citrus theme, but expands the fruit into opulent lines of apricot and lush tropical fruit. Beringer's Private Reserve Chard is a full-bodied, well-rounded wine with plenty to offer the palate and the plate - definitely a wine to consider for Thursday's Thanksgiving feast.
