Previously reviewed, this wine just seems to get better and how on earth can you go wrong at–are you ready–$5-$7 a bottle. I know you can’t believe it and won’t try it because you are convinced that it can’t possibly be anything but an insipid, cloying white, soda-pop wine.
Okay, fine; don’t bother but DON’T SAY THE WINECASK DIDN’T TRY TO TIP YOU OFF! It has a pretty bouquet of citrus and pineapple with a balanced palate and texture. There is fruit, nice acid and more. Find it; buy it; and raise a glass!
The grapes for this wine were sourced from the Clarksburg appelation in the Sacramento River Delta of California. It is becoming or has become the place for wineries to source their Chenin. I know its not saying much about the region but it at least has that selling point. =) Other notable Chenins from the region are Vinum CNW, Dry Creek Vineyards, and the fabulous Pine Ridge Chenin-Viognier.
ReplyDeleteI bought a bottle of this wine thinking that it would be a decent everyday type dinner wine. What a mistake. I will never buy another bottle of this stuff. First, the fake cork was so loose that it was forced into the bottle by my opener. When I did get to drink the wine, it had the sickening sweet flavor of a cheap wine. Will never buy Beringer again...
ReplyDeleteI, for one, love Beringer's Chenin Blanc. Not being an expert I find it smooth and just sweet enough to be very pleasing to the palate. Not being a wine snob I will be the first to admit that the price is an additional bonus! It seems to be agreeable when served with just about anything. I normally do Merlot so find this a refreshing relief.
