Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of plastic wrapped pre sliced bell pepper from the grocery, black pepper, pickled cherries, and wet cedar shavings with a round, crisp, dry medium-to-full body and an interesting, medium-to-long finish evoking shades of leather and bell pepper, black pepper, and cherry and black plum. A BBQ wine to go from kabobs to cherry pie for the July 4th weekend cookout.

'Other Red' is a catch-all category for both uncommon grape varietals and uncommon combinations of varietals. There are little pockets of other red varietals grown throughout the US. In California, Italian varietals such as Barbera, Gignolino, Primitivo, and Nebbiolo and esoteric Rhone varietals like Cinsault and Carignano can be found. Tempranillo, best known as the principal red variety of Spain’s Rioja, can also be found in small plantings in the Southwest where hot grown conditions favor the grape. Many producers throughout the US produce blends of Bordeaux with non-Bordeaux varietals such as Zinfandel, Petit Sirah, Syrah and even hybrids like Chambourcin that fall under our Other US Red category.
