Tasting - "Amberhill Secret Blend White Wine"




Name: Amberhill Secret Blend White Wine
Variety: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato
Region: St. Helena, California
Country: USA
Year: 2010
Price: $9

Winery Review: "This bright white wine is reminicent of a warm, breezy summer evening sharing oysters on the half shell and a good laugh with close friends. It’s made up of integrated flavors of peach, melon, citrus and a finish that awakens the appetite. There are hints of vanilla spice, honeysuckle, and lemon zest that come together with a crisp and refershing finish."

My Review: I wasn't crazy about this wine, but it wasn't exactly bad. It had a very alcoholic smell for a white blend (13.5% alc) with some grapefruit and lemongrass hints, giving it some freshness but not enough to balance it. The taste was very citrus-y and floral, but had a surprisingly dry finish. I think more sugar would have helped this wine a lot.
