Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Mark Beringer, Chief Winemaker

Mark Beringer, great-great-grandson of Beringer Vineyards' founding brother Jacob Beringer, was immersed in wine from the moment he was born in the heart of the Napa Valley. As the direct descendant to Beringer's first winemaker and one of the most iconic family names in Napa Valley wine history, he knew from a young age that he would follow in the footsteps of his ancestors. As a young man he spent many hours working in his family's wine store in St. Helena, expanding his knowledge of wine as well as gaining an appreciation for wines outside of the famous region he has always called home.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley is terrific, although not quite the screaming value it once was. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, spices, mint and gravel meld into the voluptuous, racy finish. There are plenty of Knights Valley signatures in this succulent, deeply expressive Cabernet from Beringer.

Podere Sapaio Volpolo Bolgheri Rosso 2013


Podere Sapaio
Volpolo Bolgheri Rosso 2013

The 2013 Bolgeri Rosso Volpolo is a fresh and tonic expression with a great sense of energy and buoyancy that sets it apart. This is youthful and bright blend (70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot aged in oak for 14 months) from Coastal Tuscany that offers loads of fresh fruit intensity, and plenty of cherry and wild berry at the front. In the mouth, it shows good acidity and a balanced style. If you are looking for a crisper and more focused version of Bolgheri Rosso, this wine is for you.
