When one thinks of white wine in the Napa Valley, Chardonnay is the immediate varietal that pops into mind and almost always the star of the show. What I love about Chardonnay, is like Cabernet, you can taste 10 of them glass-to-glass and have 10 very distinct flavor profiles and tasting experiences. The 2015 Beringer Napa Valley Chardonnay displays a bright lemon peel color in the glass, aromas of pineapple, Caribbean fruits and buttery biscuit. On the tongue is a really nice, brighter feeling that makes this wine a good companion with many types of food. I would imagine this with a hot buffalo chicken dip, jalapeno poppers or a spicy Thai dish. The flavors of nectarine, brown sugar and creamy bread pudding are well blended and lead to a bright and airy finish.
