"Beringer’s version of Chateau St. Jean’s Cinq Cepages, the 2001 Alluvium Proprietary Red, which emerges from Knight’s Valley, is dominated by Merlot, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The deep purple-colored 2001 reveals a big, floral nose with notions of red and black currants in the mix. There is fine opulence along with beautiful integration of wood (75% new is used) and acidity. (Release date Spring '05.)"

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
