Since 1876. Our wines are a tribute to the Beringer Brothers who founded Beringer Vineyards in 1876. These classically styled, fruit-forward wines are hand-crafted for your enjoyment. Our rich and intense flavored Merlot is full of blackberry, plum and toasted spice flavors. It's the perfect complement to creamy pasta dishes or your favorite grilled meats. Enjoy! 13.9% alc/vol.
