Tasting-Beringer Riesling

This wine is the Beringer Riesling. It is from California in the Nappa Valley, and its year is 2009. The wine is 85% riesling and 15% muscat. At the Vintage Cellar this wine is priced at $5.95. The Vintage Cellar reviews this wine as the perfect balance between honeysuckle and bright peach flavoring. They call it the perfect wine for light fare such as appetizers  or just sharing with friends.
My review:
This wine is clear in color but is "colorful" in taste.
It has a smooth taste that doesn't tingle on your tongue as some wines do. This wine does have a bit of a bite to it in an acidic way. It is a rather dry wine with a citrus, lemony feel to it. It has a rind type taste finish. This would be a lovely wine, chilled, for the summer, and relaxing with friends outside enjoying the warm, well hopefully warm weather. This would be a wonderful wine to have with a sharp cheese because I feel they would balance out each others' strong potent flavors. I did enjoy this wine and for the price it is really a nice choice. If you are looking for sweetness though, you will not find it with this wine.
