Monique Sosa rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A neat bouquet of fresh fruit, mineral and floral aromas. Key flavours include: apple, citrus (key lime), and a touch grassy/pine notes (mostly how the oak has presented itself in the wine). This wine is bone dry with some hefty acidity, medium body with a medium length zesty lemon butter finish. Try pairing with seared pickerel on a bed of oyster mushroom risotto.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay is a little richer than the Founders Estate Chard, with buttery aromas, ripe pear, citrus and a touch of smoke. Medium-bodied with good acidity and nicely balanced oak. Interesting smokey finish. Another great value for the price from Beringer.

Heather Wall rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Brilliant medium lemon colour with delicate aromaa and flavours of tree fruit, lemon, butter and stony minerality. This medium-bodied California Chardonnay has creamy mouthfeel with cleansing acidity. Some barrel aging but not overwhelming. This is a very approachable Chardonnay. The grapes used to craft this lovely wine were sourced from both the Northern and Southern tips of Napa( think of Napa as crescent shaped). Perfect roast chicken wine or elegant on it's own.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Very pale straw with a gold tinge with aromas of apricot, apple and lemon with both minerality and a slight creaminess. Flavours of apple with a touch of lemon and a nice acidity. Definitely a roast chicken wine for me.

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely Napa Chardonnay displaying wonderful balance. Crisp orchard fruit gives way to delicious lemon custard notes. A great wine to enjoy with grilled fish, chicken, or even fresh corn on the cob. Tasted April 2015. 89 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely medium bodied Chardonnay blended from different vineyards across Napa Valley. Aromas include pear, honey, and some green apple. Fruit and honey flavours also on the palate softened by the effect of malolactic fermentation. Oak provides some body but does not overwhelm the fruit. A great wine to have with roasted chicken but might also stand up to more robust flavours, perhaps something on the BBQ.

Natalie's Review

Beringer Chardonnay 2013, Napa Valley, California, United States: A gloriously alive Chardonnay with lovely aromas of peach, pear and butterscotch. Layers of pleasure, yet it's not heavy at all. Pair with lobster in melted butter. Drink: 2014-2018. 84988 14.10% D 750 mL $32.95 Score: 91/100. September 19, 2015 Top Rated White Wine. Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine Full Review
