About the winery · Beringer Vineyards ›

Beringer Vineyards traces its roots to Jacob and Frederick Beringer, brothers from Mainz, Germany, who established their Napa Valley winery in 1876. Beringer describes itself as California's longest continually operating winery and a Napa benchmark since its establishment. The Founders' Estate line honors the brothers' pioneering history while focusing on accessible California varietal wines. This Pinot Noir is sourced broadly from California rather than a single estate or reserve tier.

“One of the best values in Pinot today, with black and red-cherry aromas, dark fruit, light oak spices, acidity, and moderate tannins.”
