Beringer Chardonnay Private Reserve Napa Valley 2018

James Suckling 97 points - 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 lengths. Shows complex flavors, from cooked apples and lemons to stones and hints of flowers. Still tight. Needs time to come together. Drink after

Wine Advocate 90 points - The 2018 Chardonnay Private Reserve features scents of lemon marmalade, green mango, nectarines, and lime leaves with touches of cedar chest, ginger, and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate fills the mouth with oak-laced citrus flavors and a refreshing backbone, finishing with a spicy lift. 15,619 cases were made..August/2020
