Pinot Noir (pee-no nwahr)
This great wine of France 's Burgundy region has a thin-skinned that ripens early. Pinot Noir is a grape that makes a marvelously aromatic, flavorful wines boasting a seductive perfume of strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, tea, mint, violets, and oriental spices, and silky, flavors. The best pinot noirs benefit from aging and goes well with seasoned salmon, chicken, ham, and lamb dishes. Different description that other.
Que Sera, Sera
Shiraz (shir-az)
Wines made from Shiraz are often quite powerfully flavored and full-bodied. With time in the bottle, Shiraz "primary" notes are moderated and then supplemented with earthy or savory "tertiary". "Secondary" flavor and aroma notes are those associated with winemakers' practices, such as oak barrel and yeast regimes, and are not typically associated with specific grape varieties. Accompanies poultry, red meats, and highly fragrant cheeses.
Rack of Grapes
Amarone (Ah-ma-ROE-nay)
A dry red wine with great body, is made with grapes that have been dried on racks, bringing out their flavors. This fine wine has flavors of licorice, tobacco and fig, and goes well with game and ripe cheese. Magnificent when aged, and served around 60°. This is the type of wine that would go nicely with pizza or pasta.
Ivy’s Ruby Red
Barolo (Ba-ROE-loe)
The prestigious Barolo wine has been called the "king of wine" and the "wine of kings." Made from the Nebbiolo grape. The Barolo is a robust red--very dry and full bodied, high in tannin, acidity, and alcohol. Described as a chewy wine. When it is aged and given time to mellow the harsh elements begin to soften and reveal many layers of complexity. Complements ribs, pork, veal, and chicken.
Three Ship’s Sailing
Cabernet Franc (Cab-air-nay FrahN)
A French red wine related to Cabernet Sauvignon, but makes for a lighter, fruiter wine. Best blended, but increasingly trendy as a varietal, in which blueberry aromas are often descriptive.
Sangiovese
Sangiovese (san-joh-vay'z eh)
This red is the predominant grape in Chianti. Makes a hearty, dry red, with flavors of black cherries.
Life is a Cabaret
Cabernet Merlot (mehr-low)
This medium bodied red wine is nicely balanced with oak and rounded with hints of cherry & plum. Best when aged.
Under the Stars
Cabernet Shiraz (Cab-air-nay shee-raz)
Cabernet provides the flavour, length and structure, with shiraz impairing a spicy complexity and richness.
The Verdict Red
Cabernet Sauvignon (cah-berr-nay sow-vee-nyon)
Is the premier red wine grape in the world. When you think of the finest red wines in the world, you often are thinking of wines made with Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant grape in the Bordeaux region of France and has spread to every other major growing region. Food pairings are steak and roasts, spareribs, lamb, game dishes, firm cheeses such as cheddar and hard cheeses such as parmigiano and romano.
Cannonball Red
Chianti (Ki-AHN-tee)
Has a ruby-red color. Delicate bouquet of sweet violets with an earthy-mineral tone you will find it extremely comforting. This wine is ideal with grilled poultry, fish, vegetables, red sauces and spaghetti and wouldn’t be too bad with pizza covered with pepperoni and sausage.
Vintners Lane
Merlot (mehr-low)
Merlot’s popularity is not quite as harsh as other reds. It has less tannin, softer, fruitier, earlier-maturing than cabernet sauvignon, yet displays many of the same aromas and flavors – black cherry, currant, cedar, and green olive – along with mint, tobacco and tea-leaf tones. It is a perfect match for beef, medium- heavy dishes also with a rich, red pasta dish, or even a heavy chicken dish. Merlot is excellent compliment to chocolate.
House of Kings
Vieux Chateau du Roi (VCR) (v'yuh) (shah-toe)
A classic, full-bodied, rich, tannic red wine is made from a complex blend of grapes. This is a smooth robust wine with a bouquet of ripe berries and flavors of plum, that will age well. Definitely, a wine you’ll want to oak. Try it with braised short ribs, peppered steak, duck/goose, ripe cheese with walnuts.
Battlefield Red
Malbec
A red wine with a great spanish ting to it with a deep body which smoothes and blossoms more with age.
