Very strongly flavored, very big and powerful in both oak and fruit. Beringer aims for the fences with this massive Chard, which erupts with tropical fruit, ripe pear, baked pastry crust, buttered toast, mineral and cinnamon spice flavors. Not for the faint-hearted, but it’s sheer decadence. 94 points, The Wine Enthusiast, November 1, 2009
"Made from a selection of the best barrels from the Private Reserve program, the similarly-styled 2007 Chardonnay Sbragia Limited Release exhibits more layers as well as a bigger, bolder style. The wine is no better than the Private Reserve, just riper and slightly heavier." 92 Points - Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s The Wine Advocate, Issue 180
"Ultrarich and full-bodied, with deep, ripe pear, apple and spicy hazelnut notes that turn smooth and creamy, gaining depth and focus on the finish. Drink now through 2012." 92 Points - The Wine Spectator, June 30, 2009
