Some of our most popular red wine delivery options include:
- Cabernet Sauvignon (cab-er-NAY SO-vin-yon) - Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most popular red wines. In the Bordeaux region of France, it is considered the noblest grape of all. It is, in fact, the grape that makes fine Bordeaux wines. Cabernet Sauvignon can age well for decades. It is dark purple or ruby in colour, medium to full bodied, and has a beautiful array of intense aromas and flavours. Cabernet Sauvignon would be considered a dry red.
- Merlot (mur-LO) Merlot has become very popular in the last 10 years. It is one of the more drinkable types of red wine with its low acidity and mellow softness. Merlot has rich flavours of blackberry, plum and cherry.
- Pinot Noir (PEE-no NWA) - Pinot Noir is a difficult grape to grow, but yields an exceptional wine with great complexity when conditions are correct. It has a light to moderate body with deliciously varied aromas and flavours.
- Sangiovese (san-geeo-VEHS-eh) - The signature red wine grape of the Tuscany and Chianti regions, Sangiovese has been produced with little success outside of Italy. A good Sangiovese can be beautiful and complex, with varied aromas and flavours. It is frequently blended with Cabernet.
- Syrah or Shiraz (sih-RAH or shih-RAHZ) - Known as Shiraz in Australia and South Africa and as Syrah in California and France, this wine has low to moderate acidity making it very drinkable. Shiraz/Syrah exhibits wonderful flavours of spice and fruit.
