Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Lampyridae Vineyard 2006
The Winery
Beringer
The Beringer history dates back to the year 1868, when Jacob Beringer, enticed by the opportunities of the new world, sailed from his home in Mainz, Germany, to New York. However, after hearing that the rocky hillside soil and fertile valley floor of Napa Valley resembled that of vineyards back home in Germany, Jacob made his way west. Jacob and his brother Frederick purchased 215 acres of land in 1875, and became one of the first wineries in Napa Valley.
Since then, Beringer has honed, deepened, and expanded the art of winemaking. They pursue balance between modern technology and time-tested winemaking traditions, resulting in wines of global recognition.
Summary
The Beringer Vineyards 2006 Lampyridae Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished wine from a high-altitude Napa site, known for its unique volcanic soils and cool climate. This Cabernet showcases an intense profile of dense cassis and blackberry flavors, complemented by notes of graphite and violet. Hints of cedar and cocoa add depth, while firm tannins provide a structured backbone, making it ageworthy. The long, cool growing season of 2006 contributes to its classic style, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and elegant. With a limited production, this expression of Napa Valley's terroir highlights the richness of the varietal.
