Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Beringer, established in 1876, is one of Napa’s most venerable producers of fine wine. Although steeped in history, Beringer makes use of modern winemaking techniques to get the best results. This Chard, for instance, was sourced from four different vineyards, with some juice undergoing fermentation in barrel and some in steel – highlighting the best aspects of each crop. With its complex interplay of guava, nectarine and lemon drop flavours, the results are there to be seen (and tasted). This is an exceptional value for Napa Chardonnay. My note: Terrific craftsmanship and balance. Lovely ripe peach fruit and pear aromas. Full-bodied. Food matches: roasted whole chicken with traditional stuffing.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Darlene Myers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review: This is what a California Chardonnay is all about. Smooth buttery feel with flavours of peach and apples. I could almost detect a hint of toffee. That wonderfully smooth buttery candy - that's what I thought of when I drank this wine.
