When it comes to US wine production, California is King. California wines account for almost 90% of all wines produced in the United States each year, and is home to the most celebrated vineyards and producers in the country. California is probably best known for its world-famous Cabernets and Chardonnays, many of which hail from its two most-acclaimed AVAs, Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Other prominent grapes used in California wines include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel (which California made popular).

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st May 2022
Although not labeled as such, Beringer’s Private Reserve Chardonnay has been sourced for decades from the Gamble Ranch in Oakville. Planted around 1976 to Clone 4, the grapes are picked ripe and barrel fermented at relatively warm temperatures to build mouthfeel. The 2020 Chardonnay Private Reserve (along with all the other white varieties) was picked prior to any risk of smoke taint. Marked by scents of mango, guava and pineapple, it doesn’t come across as that oaky, despite being barrel fermented and aged in approximately 80% new French oak. It’s full-bodied and slightly buttery, with an appealing custardy richness and a long finish. (Joe Czerwinski)

Peach, apricot and mango flavors are juicy and fleshy at the core of this white, with honeyed overtones. Salted butter, spice and toasted pastry notes emerge on the finish, as does a touch of dried ginger. Drink now. 8,714 cases made. (MaryAnn Worobiec)
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2022
The 2020 Chardonnay Private Reserve is creamy, open-knit and expressive. Lemon confit, spice, vanillin and light tropical notes all grace the 2020. As always, the Private Reserve is done in a richer, creamier style than the Luminus Chardonnay. That approach worked well in 2020. (Antonio Galloni)

The name on this bottling says it all. Aromas of caramel apple and butterscotch candy on the nose lead into a viscous palate of oak oil and incense, as the buttery nose turns into a woody palate. (Matt Kettmann)

One hundred percent barrel fermented, the 2020 Chardonnay Grand Reserve is characterized by floral aromatics of honeysuckle, salted pineapple, and lemon. The palate is rounded and flush, with sweet honeydew melon, baked apple, and baking spice. Drink now or over the next 6 years. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Nectarine, brisk lime and honeysuckle aromas show on the nose of this bottling. There’s a lively citrus kick to the tip of the sip, and then come richer waves of pear, peach and browned butter. (Matt Kettmann)
