Red Wine

There’s 1,000’s of red grape varieties grown around the world making a diverse range of wines.

Exploring the red wine world will take you from lighter more elegant wines to brash, bold wines.

There are infinite combinations of different colours, aromas, flavours, and, textures making for a lifelong pleasure fest for your senses.

A dozen varieties make up the majority of the red wines produced. Think Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and, Merlot.

Are travels to Italy, Spain, and, France have seen more Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Nerello Mascelese, Grenache, Carignan, and, Tempranillo red wines being poured into our glasses.

The wine world is producing better wines than ever before. In regions where laws permit broad experimentation with growing and making red wines is resulting in rapid evolution and refinement of styles.

In countries like Australia, cooler climate reds are really making a name for themselves.

Gobally, there’s been a welcome shift away for cumbersome, overripe, high alcohol, oaky wines, to red wines made with more restraint and freshness.

Our tip, celebrate the different personalities of each!

Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Vaucrains' 2022

Pinot Noir from Nuits-Saint-Georges, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru ‘Les Vaucrains’ 2022

As is the case with the Chênes Carteaux, there is a high-toned note of herbal present on the poached plum and sauvage-suffused aromas. I very much like the texture of the tautly muscular yet relatively fine middleweight flavors that exude a bead of minerality on the balanced, youthfully austere and impressively long finale. This is excellent. (from a 1.08 ha mix of younger and older vines that average about 50+ years of age) 2032+ ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound (91-94) Points

Domaine Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2019

"Muscular and powerful, the 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) opens in the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berry fruit, raw cocoa, spices, rose petals and licorice. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with rich structuring tannins and lively acids, this is built for the long haul."William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Le Secret des Sabon' 2017

Rhône Blend from Châteauneuf du Pape, Southern Rhône

Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Le Secret des Sabon’ 2017

“On another level, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Secret Des Sabon is stacked and packed and ranks with the top 2-3 wines in this great vintage. A huge nose of blackcurrants, melted licorice, graphite, garrigue and pepper gives way to an uber-full-bodied, concentrated, massively endowed wine that has an insane level of opulence and decadent, sweet tannins, and a huge finish. This is a tour de force in wine that readers need to taste to believe. Given its wealth of fruit and texture, it’s a

Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016

It just invites you in! This is what wine is about! A deeply sensual bouquet of freshly sliced plums, crushed violets, mentholated herbs and Tuscan dust rises up from the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. This is deeply textural while also cool-toned and refined, with mineral-tinged red and black berries cascading across a core of brisk acidity. Tension builds throughout, as grippy tannins mount toward the close, nicely contrasted by a burst of sour citrus. There’s a crystalline structure t

Sometimes when your vineyard is surround that's OK especially when it's surrounded by DRC! “Ripe and nicely fresh aromas of plum, dark currant, red cherry, anise and jasmine tea give way to succulent, round and delicious medium-bodied flavors that also possess a beguiling texture while displaying excellent depth and persistence on the youthfully austere and well-balanced finish..” Burghound 91-94 PointsI've had the pleasure of drinking La Grande Rue a couple of times.

Domaine Nicole Lamarche ‘Clos de Vougeot’ Grand Cru 2020

Sometimes when your vineyard is surround that's OK especially when it's surrounded by DRC! An earthier and more somber if nicely layered nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark berries along with a whisper of the sauvage along with a floral top note. The delicious and rounded medium weight flavors possess focused power that really comes up on the dusty, chalky, youthfully austere and impressively persistent finale. This built-to-age effort is going to require at least some patience as it

Vietti Barolo 'Monvigliero' 2018

Nebbiolo from Verduno, Barolo

Vietti Barolo ‘Monvigliero’ 2018

The 2018 Barolo Monvigliero, another new wine in this range, is dazzling. That's not much of a surprise, as the 2018 has always been gorgeous from barrel. A touch of whole clusters adds aromatic nuance and lift to this super-classic, sculpted Barolo. The Monvigliero impresses with its purity, delineation and class. Superb. Drink 2028-2048 Galloni

Vietti Barolo ‘Cerequio’ 2018

The 2018 Barolo Cerequio is a new wine in this range. Soaring aromatics and bright, red-toned fruit give the Cerequio its effusive personality. Nuanced and deep, with tremendous complexity and tons of character, the Cerequio is dazzling. This is everything a great Barolo from Cerequio should be. In other words: textbook. More over, it's one of the best wines of this very uneven vintage. Drink 2028 - 2048 Galloni

Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Le Secret des Sabon’ 2019

“The tiny production 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Secret Des Sabon is a field blend of mostly Grenache brought up all in wooden tronconique barrels. It's closest in style to the Prestige Cuvée yet brings another level of opulence and richness without losing any sense of elegance or class. Blackberries, peppery herbs, graphite, crushed violets, and a liquid rock-like minerality all define the nose, and it hits the palate with incredible depth of fruit, full-bodied richness, and ripe yet buildi
