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!

Cerbaiona Brunello di Montalcino MAGNUM 2021

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Cerbaiona Brunello di Montalcino MAGNUM 2021

I’d love to compare it directly to the 2021 Soldera and Poggio di Sotto. A wine from a maker with intent. It’s clear there is quality fruit here.Researching the Brunello, I came across Galloni's notes on the 2010 Brunello. "In all of my years tasting the wines of Montalcino, I have only come across two wines with this level of textural unctuosity and sweetness; Gianfranco Soldera's 1983 Brunello and 1990 Riserva."There is not a more emphatic statement that could be made about the cap

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva 1995

Red Blend from La Rioja, Spain

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva 1995

Tasting the 1994 in May 2023 I was lost in the glass with the delicacy, perfume, vibrant red fruit, perfectly poised acid tannin complex. The sophistication, elegance and intoxicating perfume of the wine, simply astonishing. All from a wine held in barrel for 8 years and further 10 in bottle before release!The only current red Gran Reserva is the 1995 Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva, the one that is produced exactly the same as before, including fining with egg whites and sealing with red wa

Vietti Barolo Riserva 'Villero' 2013

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Vietti Barolo Riserva ‘Villero’ 2013

Vietti's Riserva 'Villero' is not made every year. Like all Barolo Riserva's it is matured for a few extra years before release. Vietti's 2013 Barolo Riserva Villero is a showstopper. Wow! dense, powerful and richly constituted, the Villero captivates from the very first taste. Smoke, scorched earth, gravel, cured meats and black cherry are some of the many notes that inform this decidedly somber, brooding Barolo. The interplay of fruit density and structure is just captivating. Time in the glas

Stéphane Ogier Côte-Rôtie Lieux-Dits 'La Belle Hélène' 2017
Burgundy meets Côte-Rôtie

Shiraz/Syrah from Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône

Stéphane Ogier Côte-Rôtie Lieux-Dits ‘La Belle Hélène’ 2017

Côte-Rôtie is often compared to Burgundy for it's detailed vineyard breakdown. Like Burgundy we see dramatic differences in the wines from vineyard to vineyard. Stéphane has a great number of lieux-dits that he works with through the Côte-Blonde (southern part of Côte-Rôtie) and Côte-Brune (northern part of Côte-Rôtie).Stéphane makes wines of greater energy and vibrancy, always on the fresher end of the spectrum.La Belle Hélène from Côte Rozier, a parcel of Stéphane's oldes

Giacomo Conterno Barolo 'Arione' 2016

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Arione’ 2016

Roberto acquired a portion of the Arione Cru in 2015. Just under 6 Ha for 6 million euro. It is adjacent to the Francia vineyard, long responsible for both the Barolo ‘Cascina Francia’ and ‘Monfortino’ Riserva in the very southern end of Serralunga. The contours of Arione follow on directly from Francia and the soil profiles are similar with a limestone base compared to Cerretta’s clay base. The 2016 Barolo Arione is a sort of synthesis between the Cerretta and Francia. It has the red

Giacomo Conterno Barolo 'Francia' 2016

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Francia’ 2016

Conterno’s 2016 Barolo Francia is effusive, with a real sense of expansiveness that gives the wine breadth. Sage, mint, cedar, tobacco and strong mineral accents complement a core of dark fruit in a Barolo of real gravitas. Just bottled a few months ago, the 2016 is going through a very rare period of approachability (in relative terms). It will almost certainly shut down within the next few months. Readers who are curious will want to taste it before that happens. In 2016, Roberto Conterno di

Massolino "Vigna Rionda" Barolo MAGNUM 2019

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Massolino “Vigna Rionda” Barolo MAGNUM 2019

 An explosion of flowers and fruit leaps from the glass. The extra 2 years in bottle prior to release clearly show their impact. Through puberty. Incredible. It will need time to resolve and for the tight 2019 tannins of presence yet ripeness with a degree of firmness to resolve, which they will and when they do we're in for a treat. A transparency here. Aroma and flavours building with a layer of secondary characters, a lick of truffles and forest floor. A superb core of dark rich long

David Duband Gevrey Chambertin Grand Cru 'Chambertin' 2019

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

David Duband Gevrey Chambertin Grand Cru ‘Chambertin’ 2019

"This too is aromatically very cool with its elegant and airy aromas of violet, red and dark currant and whiffs of humus and the sauvage. There is impressive vibrancy to the caressing yet muscular and intense larger-scaled flavors that exude an abundance of minerality on the serious, compact and focused finale that also flashes just a hint of warmth. Note well that this is very much a 'buy and forget you own it' wine."Allen Meadows, Burghound

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino 2021 6-Pack

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino 2021 6-Pack

The Le Chiuse 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is a lovely wine and one of my favorites from a vintage that is not always easy to read. It delivers its message clearly with dark fruit, blue flower, grilled herb and sweet cedar, showing a sense of fullness and aromatic completeness that is not always present in this year. Soft and silky on the palate, the wine offers gentle, powdery tannins supported by good underlying structure, achieving balance without force. Sourced as a special selection from eig

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Amoureuses' 2022

Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Amoureuses’ 2022

A very fresh and, as one might expect, this possesses the spiciest nose to this point with its wonderfully floral red berry fruit aromas. The borderline painfully intense flavors possess a super-sleek and chiseled mouthfeel that is akin to rolling small rocks around the mouth on the dusty, moderately austere, compact and built-to-age finale. I would strongly recommend not touching a bottle of this beauty before at least 10 years have passed. 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Bur

Luciano Sandrone Barolo 'Vite Talin' 2015

Luciano Sandrone Barolo ‘Vite Talin’ 2015

There are some perks to the job! Got to try the newest edition to Sandrone's list of Barolo, the Riserva 'Vite Talin'. 30 years in the making and it's quite some wine! Such a special wine. Unforuntately, there was not an opportunity to try the 2015. It's a Barolo vintage I am fond of. Reviews are below.My notes of the 2013: Intoxicating nose. Such a complete perfume, the incredible core of fruit is wrapped in truffles, earth & forest floor. The richness, depth, and, length a matched

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2020

Pinot Noir from Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2020

A perfumed and exceptionally pretty nose combines notes of dark raspberry, exotic tea and a broad range of floral elements. The succulent, refined and admirably punchy medium weight plus flavors possess excellent delineation and a taut muscularity that becomes more prominent on the saline and bitter pit fruit-suffused finale. This well-balanced and very promising effort that delivers first-rate length. 2032+ (from a .32 ha parcel)Allen Meadows, Burghound
