Beringer Waymaker Red




Great 2012 vintage....

2012 Beringer Waymaker Red Blend...$16.99
Compare to $25 at the Winery
A new offering and another terrific value, the 2012 Proprietary Red The Waymaker is a blend from Paso Robles. (I know it shouldn’t be included in a Napa report). This 6,000-case cuvée is a blend of 57% Syrah, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petite Sirah and Mourvèdre. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by notes of sweet black cherries, raspberries, and dusty, loamy, peppery, meaty, lavender notes. With a Rhône Ranger-like style, it offers medium to full-bodied, mouthfilling, savory flavors and no hard edges. This beauty should be consumed over the next 4-5 years for its boisterous gusto.

Rated 90/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
