Robert Parker gives it 92 points: "The 2007 Chardonnay Private Reserve (always one of California's top Chardonnays) has toned down the toasty oak component, exhibiting excellent nutty, honeyed, buttery notes of orange marmalade, brioche, and spice. This wine is full-bodied, rich and pure. Beringer continues to turn out an impressive array of wines, proving that a gigantic global operation can be focused on quality and character. The Private Reserve final blend is always the finest wine of the group. This has been proven time and time again at tastings."
The list price for this wine is $32, but you can usually find it for less than $25. It's the most expensive Chardonnay on this blog, but with a price under $25, I think the quality-to-price ratio for this wine is very high.
