The 1992 Nightingale is Beringer's Sauternes look-alike. A blend of 50% botrytised Semillon and 50% Sauvignon Blanc (barrel-fermented and aged in 100% new oak), it is a superb, beautifully pure wine designed to compete with Bordeaux's sweetest wines. It should last for 10-15 years. Beringer has once again proven that they are one of the qualitative leaders in California as they continue to turn out reference point wines - not only for California, but the world. (RP)
