Garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of prune juice, roast beef with carrots, caramelized yams, and pechuga mezcal with a velvety, crisp, fruity light-to-medium body and a seamless, odd, brisk finish with elements of creamy ambrosia dessert, hint of medicated vaseline, dreamsicle stick, and cherry bonbon with no oak flavor. A simple fruity wine for picnics and Sangria; serve with a chill.

Other red is a large category that covers many red wines from around the globe that are made from lesser-known varieties. These include Albarossa and Ruché from Piedmont in Italy, Touriga from Virginia and numerous blended reds from California, Washington and other states in the US as well as Argentina, Chile and Spain.

Many of these reds are robust and somewhat spicy; while they can age for several years in some cases, most are meant for consumption upon release. Pair them with a variety of foods, from tapas and empanadas to barbecued beef and young sheep's cheeses.
