In all my travels, when I see Beringer, I
tend to shy away from it based on my past experiences with
its lower lines. However, based on the difference in the
label, as well as the price, I decided to give it a shot.
Upon tasting it, I was very surprised and
satisfied; this was a wine that reminded me of Kendall
Jackson's Grand Reserver Chardonnay and was almost two
dollars left (now don't think that I am not drinking any
more of the KJ).
This wine rates an 86 from the Wine
Advocate, and as they say, 'reveals honeysuckle, pear, and
tropical fruit characteristics in its elegant, fresh,
medium-weight style.'
Being that this wine runs around $12 a
bottle, I think that it's a wise choice for large parties
and small intimate get-togethers.
So far, this wine is going to make it to my
top ten Chardonnay list.
