Black ruby color. Interesting aromas and flavors of chocolate-covered raisins, rich custard with rhubarb, and spearmint candies with a lightly tannic, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a peppery, intricate, long finish with notes of tart plum, earth, milk chocolate, and cracked peppercorns with well-integrated, chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A grippy, complex red that keeps things interesting; try this distinctive wine with a variety of bold dishes.

'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.
