Wine Review: Whispering Angel 2023

It’s time for the review

First Thoughts

As soon as we poured our glasses, the fresh, fruity aroma hit us. Colin picked up strawberries and raspberries, while Aaron caught a hint of florality and a little citrus zing. One thing we all agreed on? It did not smell like feet (looking at you, Chicken Wine). So far, so good!

This one had a bit more acidity and dryness than we expected, which made it super refreshing—but also a little dangerous. It’s the kind of wine you can sip through way too fast without realizing it. The bright citrus and red fruit flavors keep things lively, making it easy to drink but not particularly complex.

One key tip? Drink it cold. Like, really cold. As it warmed up, it lost some of its charm, so keep that bottle in the fridge or an ice bucket while you’re enjoying it.

Final Verdict: Kitchen Counter-Worthy

On our Stop Wasting Your Wine scale, this lands in the Kitchen Counter category. It’s a solid, easygoing wine—great for casual sipping, barbecues, or a picnic—but not something that wowed us enough to put in the “must share” tier.

Is It Worth the Hype?

Look, Whispering Angel is everywhere for a reason. It’s a safe bet, super accessible, and overall, a pleasant wine. But if you’re looking for something a little more exciting, we’d suggest exploring other rosés in the $20-$30 range, because there are definitely some hidden gems that deliver more depth and complexity.

That said, if your options are this or Chicken Wine (La Vieille Ferme)—skip the chicken and grab Whispering Angel.

Certified Porch Pounder?

Oh yeah. This is a classic porch pounder—crisp, light, and way too easy to drink. Just be warned: that bottle might disappear quicker than you expect.
