Very easy to drink, light body, great taste. Red blend.
Buehler's Russian River Chardonnay displays abundant floral/ stone fruit aromas lightly accented by toasty, graham cracker sur-lie qualities. The mouthfeel is creamy and full but the natural acidity of the Russian River fruit carries this velvet textured package to a long, clean finish.
The wine is brimming with fruit aromas and flavors biased to the black fruit end of the Cabernet spectrum: plums, blackberry, black currant. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, this Cabernet drinks well on release but will soften and develop with additional age.
Aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, 20% of which were new. At this level of new wood, the up-front endearing quality of Zinfandel can assert itself. Aromas of a briar patch on a hot summer day carry over to the palate and are carried in a mouth-filling, flavorful, juicy package. The wine was crafted for immediate enjoyment but for those who enjoy a more complex wine displaying some bottle-aged character.
Buehler has been producing a White Zinfandel since 1983. Their means of bringing you consistently delicious wines remains unchanged since 1983: they hand-pick their 100% Zinfandel fruit riper than most producers and leave less residual sugar. Riper fruit translates to flavors like wild berries and strawberries; yes, real red Zinfandel fruit flavors! The end result is a wine with more red Zinfandel berry character and a less sweet, more refreshing taste.
