Beringer Quantum (Q) Napa Valley Red Blend (750ml)
Beringer Quantum Red Blend is a bold, richly structured Napa Valley red that showcases the historic winery’s mastery of mountain-grown Bordeaux varietals. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot alongside select lots of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec, each varietal block is harvested and vinified separately before final blending. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels—more than half of which are new—this full-bodied red delivers concentrated dark fruit, velvety round tannins, and mouthwatering acidity. Enjoyable immediately upon release, it is also built to evolve gracefully in the cellar for years to come.
🌟 Why You’ll Love It
Napa Valley Mountain Terroir: Anchored by high-elevation fruit, including Howell Mountain lots, yielding intense colour, concentrated flavour, and structured depth.
Artisanal French Oak Aging: Matured for 20 months in French oak barrels to weave rich layers of vanilla, cocoa, and sweet spice into the dense dark fruit core.
Cellar-Worthy Structure: Balances plush, approachable tannins with vibrant natural acidity, making it equally rewarding to open tonight or cellar for 5 to 10 years.
🍷 Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright, ripe, and aromatic, leading with fresh blackberry, black currant, and blueberry layered over sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, and warm oak spice.
Palate: Full-bodied and richly textured, flooding the palate with juicy cassis, dark plum, and hints of dark chocolate supported by round, powdery tannins.
Finish: Structured, creamy, and long, tapering off with lively tension, subtle baking spices, and mouthwatering acidity.
