Why You'll Love This Wine

Steinhauer Ranch on Howell Mountain is named after legendary vineyard manager Bob Steinhauer, who spent 26 years developing Beringer's finest mountain sites. This high-elevation vineyard consistently contributes to Beringer's Private Reserve blend - now you can taste it on its own.

Tasting Notes

Deep and resonant with black cherry, plum, mocha, and spice notes. Mountain tannins provide firm structure while the palate delivers concentrated dark fruit with tobacco and cedar undertones. The finish is huge and dramatic, building incrementally to a lasting impression.

Food Pairings

Bone-in ribeye, venison medallions, braised oxtail, or aged provolone.

Why It Works

Howell Mountain's elevation and volcanic soils create wines of exceptional concentration and aging potential. This single-vineyard bottling showcases why Steinhauer Ranch fruit is prized by Beringer's winemaking team.
