Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla, candied ginger, plum sauce, and peach cobbler with a medium body and a medium finish that presents notes of cherry, vanilla, red berries, and red velvet cake. A big, bold, and fruity red interwoven with hints of vanilla; good for those looking for a sweeter red to sip with a slight chill.

'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.
