What reviewers say
“Ik ben nooit zo'n liefhebber van Amerikaanse wijnen. Ze houden er daar wat andere wetgeving op na die het product wat minder eerlijk maken. Je moet er maar op vertrouwen dat alleen het goede bij ons in de handel komt.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This Chardonnay is an enticing blend of ripe stone fruit and vivid citrus flavors. The bright citrus perfectly offsets the honeyed apricot, culminating in a smooth, delicious wine with a lasting finish.
From California in the United States, Beringer Chardonnay is a white. At $12.32 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the under $15 band.
874 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 917 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 2,310 other whites from the United States form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Beringer Chardonnay lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · United States (2,311 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 874.
