Jacob
Beringer left his home in Mainz, Germany, in 1868 to start a new life in the
U.S. Jacob took up residence in a farmhouse in the California wine country
built in 1848, now referred to as the “Hudson House.” Meticulously restored and
expanded, the Hudson House serves today as Beringer Vineyards' Culinary Arts Center . In 1883, Frederick permanently moved to the Napa Valley and began
construction of a 17-room mansion that was to be his home. Beringer Vineyards
is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley. In 2001, the
estate was placed on the National Register for Historic Places as a Historic
District.
Beringer Founders
Estate Zinfandel 2010 is made from grapes harvested at the winery’s original
location mentioned in the paragraph above. This is as close to the
quintessential California Zinfandel - a wonderfully rich and intense wine –
that you can come. It has notes of vanilla and nutmeg that are complimented by
rich, blackberry flavors with a hint of black pepper in the finish. It showcases cloves, white pepper and
jammy black fruit aromas that lead into a mouth full of black berries and sweet
spice.
You’ll also
get excellent value for your
money!
This wine is very good
to drink at once but if you have the patience to store it for 5-7 years it will
become excellent. Enjoy this wine with lamb, beef or maybe some nice cured
meats and some good cheese. It's also a perfect fit for grilled gourmet
sausages, spareribs, or chicken with a zingy tomato sauce.
Here’s another fun
fact about Beringer that just makes you like them:
In 2004 Beringer created the monster wine bottle Maximus. It is the world's
largest bottle of wine, as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. The
bottle contains 173 bottles of Beringer 2001 Private Reserve Cabernet and sold
for $47,500 at a charity auction. Nr Systembolaget: 6718
Cost in Sweden: 99 SEK
