Beringer has expanded its portfolio once again with the release of The Waymaker from the Camatta Hills vineyard in Paso Robles. Capatilizing on the popular red blend trend, The Waymaker is predominately made up of Syrah (57%) with the addition of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Sirah and 2% Malbec.
If you normally shy away from red wine, then this blend is something you should try for the colder months ahead. Even though this wine is full bodied, there is a soft, juicy quality from its Syrah foundation. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes adds balance, complexity and spice on the finish. Due to an ideal 2012 growing season and a heat wave in the beginning of the summer, this wine benefits from a great concentration and texture of fruit.
The Petite Sirah gives The Waymaker a dark, inky color in the glass. Aromas of smoke and leather notes are present. On the palate, the richness shows up in a bold, velvety way with dark fruits and hints of bacon. The finish is soft with a touch of spice as it lingers.
For the Beringer name and the price point of $19.99 this is a great value wine. I feel it can appeal to everyone at the dinner table because of its complex yet soft nature.
Have a great day!
