Variety- Riesling
Region- California
Country- United States
Year- 2009
Price- $5.95
Wine critic review- Almost clear in color but with beautiful, surprising big aromas of lime, and pungent sweet guava with oriental 5 spice! Really nice!
Palate--Nice structure with off dry flavors of citrus, lemon rind, lime and a finish that holds.
I wrote in my review book, "R U kidding me?" This was $6 at Sam's Club and it is really a great value! If here is more I will definitely buy more!
Beringer was a producer of some pricey wines years ago and then made a decision to essentially forsake the higher end wines and just produce popularly priced table wine. Their change of focus has been our gift. They are consistent producers of super value wines so raise a glass.
My review- The first aspect about this wine I noticed was the the fruity and smooth nose. I sensed some guava, as the wine critic mentioned, but also some hints of melon. I anticipated a very sweet taste, but I was disappointed. The strongest taste was semi-sweet peach but besides that the other flavors were weak. This weakness came from the mid-palate, which was almost non-existent. Overall, this was decent and would be better with some sort of chicken or fish.
