Črnko Jareninčan Maribor White Blend – 2009 – 8.9 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

]This is a Slovenian wine from the producer Crnko and it is from the Maribor wine region in Slovenia – 40% Riesling, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Chardonnay. 11% alcohol.  Wasy drinking and easy to enjoy.  This is a dry wine and presents with notes of green citrus, hint of almond and adriatic fig and white flower petals.  A slight and natural effervescence.  A soda bottle closure makes a statement for this 1 litre bottle–this is a wine to enjoy now for a summer concert with cheese and small plates and exceptionally nice in warm weather or drink as a cocktail wine.  A that has a lot to offer for a variation in tastes.

This is $12.95 a bottle for a litre—a good value.

Vegas 3 Castillo y Leon White Blend – 2005 – 7.5 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

One point deducted for an synthetic closure; this wine is a unique blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Verdejo; the wine overall disappoints without a focal point; I tried to center a flavor profile and was all of the map; intense citrus, then some butter, acid, pineapple, and green apple.  I had a bottle and when I have a good bottle I can’t keep my hands off of it.  That was not the case with this wine.

¡Salud!

Basa Rueda Blanco – 2005 – 8.8 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

This is a delightful white blend containing: 50% Verdejo, 40% Viura, and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. This is a crisp, a wonderful acid; a beautiful straw color. This wine exhibits Meyer lemon zest, banana, passion fruit and lychee. A perfect wine for those who want to enjoy a striking white wine with damaging your pocket book… no compromising here.
