Burnt sienna color. Aromas and flavors of mix of grape and cherry jelly, black pepper, cedar, and mocha with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, refreshing, medium-length finish with notes of black cherry, baking spices with black pepper, cocoa nibs, and black plum with well-integrated, medium tannins. A very nice example of an untraditional table wine with a nice juicy and spicy character that will pair well with game meats and roasts.

Other US Red

'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.
