Beringer Chardonnay Luminus 2019

The 2016 Beringer ‘Luminous’ Chardonnay is an outstanding effort from this warm vintage in the Napa Valley. Sourced from the Oak Knoll District, on the nose this starts off with an intense bouquet of creme brulee, white peach and bright starfruit that all nicely combine.

The texture here is gorgeous as the seamless wine glides across the mid-palate. Vanilla cream, kumquat and creme brûlée flavors all impress on the palate. Seamless and downright delicious, this gorgeous effort will cellar well for a decade or more.
