An ultra prestigious Chardonnay, outstanding intensity and complexity, big nose of whipped cream and pineapple, more ripe tropical fruits and a bit of citrus on the palate. Tremendous wine. — 7 years ago

Bramble- wonderful best Shiraz I've had. Purple in every sense of the way watch for the white carpets. Enjoy with a cracked pepper steak and asparagus. Vanilla ice cream after — 8 years ago
I couldn't help but pit this against my recent tastings of Chateau Montelena's 2013. Stylistically, they are worlds apart. The Montelena is less imposing, and even coy by comparison, but it's piercing acidity shocks the palate, firing the flavors everywhere, but with a linear feel.
The Beringer begins with rich aromatics of tropical fruit, coconut, cream brûlée, and meringue, with a dash of dill. Everything translates through to the palate, which flaunts its round figure. The lack of acidity releases the wine on the palate to pursue its less-than-subtle seduction. I will admit, I was no match for this temptress Chardonnay. That said, by comparison to the Montelena, the Beringer feels like it has been cosmetically enhanced. Fortunately, it was in just the right places. — 8 years ago
Medium gold. Lemon tart, yeasty, tulip, green apple, raisin. Honeysuckle, buttery, cream, with traces of caramel. Glittering with beauty. This ruins every sweet wine I'll ever have. — 10 years ago

Nice, right amount of oak. Perfect with a Mt. Tam triple cream. Will keep stocked
Great price at TJ’s, of course. — 7 years ago
Pure as freshly fallen snow. Apricot preserves, orange cream, and honeysuckle give way to almond extract and a touch of lemon zest. Long, mellow finish. — 8 years ago
This vintage shows more oak than in prior vintages. Big, bold, version of California chardonnay. Missing the elegance of last year. Still enjoyable. Just me splitting hairs. — 9 years ago
Light golden color, nose with cream and baking spices, fresh apple pie. Palate has gold apple, green melon, vanilla, little bit of oak spice. Little bit rich (partial malo) but not overwhelming. Medium acids. round finish. has potential many more years of maturation. #latour #grandcru #cortoncharlemagne — 9 years ago

Acid here is beautiful, holds the sweetness from the buttered toffee and salted caramel in check. — 7 years ago
