Tasting - Beringer


Name: Beringer Founders' Estate 
Grape Variety: Smooth Red Blend
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $15...Sale $5.95
Store Review: A blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Sirah. Without a doubt, very smooth and uniquely blended. Not too dry but not too sweet. Has a foundation of raspberry and blackberry that lingers in the finish. A slight hint at vanilla and some spice when it touches your tongue. 
My review: I thought it had a very similar smell to the Yellow Tail (Cabernet/merlot). This wine had lots of legs. It was sweet and light-bodied, which was surprising compared to the reds that I am used to. It had tiny notes of pepper but not overwhelming at all. 

*Did not have food with this wine!
