1924 Double Black Red Blend

Red wine comes in an array of types, from bold big reds to elegant dry wines and sweet sippers. The grape variety is the most important factor in determining the type of wine produced. Popular international red varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Merlot. Regional red varieties are also synonymous with their place of origin, such as Italy's Sangiovese and Spain's Tempranillo. Red grapes typically thrive in warmer climates that allow them to ripen fully before harvesting. Climate, soil, and market demand determine which grape types are planted in a particular vineyard. European winemaking practices have been enshrined in law, and our red wine guide details the flavor profiles and regions of the most popular red varieties.
