Beringer Chardonnay Napa Valley Private Reserve 2018

97 points James Suckling: "This is a really solid white with so much structure and depth, as well as a border-less, encompassing palate. Full-bodied and polished with lots of length. Shows complex flavors, from cooked apples and lemons to stones and hints of flowers. Still tight. Needs time to come together. Drink after 2021. (2/14/20)"

Producer notes: "The 2018 Chardonnay is fresh with notes of pear and apples on the nose, followed by hints of crème brûlée and Meyer lemon. There are some deeper notes of tropical mango and tangerine, that mix very well with the vanilla spice brought by the toast of the barrels. The finish on this wine goes for a long time, hinting at the ability to cellar and age this chardonnay to obtain unique flavors though years of service."
