Black Girl Magic Riesling California White Wine

Black Girl Magic Riesling is a California wine, sold in the standard 750 ml bottle. No shopper rating is available in the store listing.

The name behind it is McBride Sisters Wine Company. It says sisters Robin McBride and Andréa McBride John founded the company after starting out as New Zealand wine importers in 2005. That is the account the company gives of its own beginnings.

Riesling is where a shopper can be caught off guard. Our grape research describes it as an aromatic white that holds onto strong acidity as it ripens, and one made anywhere from fully dry to sweet, so the grape name alone does not fix the sugar level. If sweetness matters to you, that is the thing to confirm before buying, since the category guides put younger Riesling closer to citrus, green apple and floral notes, with stone fruit showing up in riper examples.

Prices differed by store: in our September 2026 checks the wine ranged from $17.99 at one to $23.99 at another.

McBride Sisters describes this Riesling's flavor in its own words as carrying "sun-kissed apricot, jasmine, and sweet honey notes," with "fragrant flowers and tangerine zest" and "lush guava and pineapple" on the palate, language that points toward the riper, sweeter end of the range the grape can cover. The brand's story fills in Black Girl Magic Wines specifically: the sisters launched the label in 2018 as a tribute to Black women in their community, and the company says it became one of the fastest-growing wine brands in the country within its first year. We checked the producer's site closely, including its underlying product data, and found no published alcohol level or residual sugar figure anywhere for this wine, so the sweetness question the grape leaves open stays open here too.

Our call: this suits a shopper who wants to back a distinctive founder story; McBride Sisters says it is the largest Black-owned and largest women-founded wine company in the country, and the Black Girl Magic label carries real history behind it. Pass if the sugar level matters to your choice; the producer's own tasting notes lean toward honeyed, riper fruit, but no alcohol or residual sugar figure is published anywhere on its site, and no shopper rating fills that gap either.
