Beringer has begun to release tiny quantities of a luxury cuvee of Chardonnay named after their talented winemaker -- Shragia. The 1991 Sbragia Select Chardonnay is reminiscent of a Chassagne-Montrachet or Meursault. It is the most concentrated and richest of the Beringer Chardonnay offerings, with a smoky, honey nose, extraordinary richness, and hazelnut-like flavors. Beringer continues to do everything right. Its staff of talented professionals may rank as the best in the business. Beringer possesses some experimental batches of wine that are not likely to be released outside the winery. However, given the quality of such wines as their 1992 Pinot Blanc, 1992 Melon, 1992 Pinot Gris, 1992 Auxerrois, and 1992 Viogner, they are breaking new ground in California. Moreover, prices are reasonable.
