I just tried the new release 2008 Beringer Chardonnay Private Reserve. I was eager to try it based on the history of the winery and this wine's following, but honestly, the high score was what initially caught my eye.

The wine is all that you'd expect from a classic California Chardonnay. It's like "comfort food" for wine - very rich and complex, with great acidity, and spicy oak. This full-bodied Chardonnay is ready to drink now, but will hold. 

Overall, I was really impressed, especially since this wine is half the price of wines of a similar profile. Plus, it received an impressive 94 points and glowing review from Parker. This is definitely worth a look!
