Best Dry Red Wines

This is an elegant, dry Greek wine that is smooth and well-balanced with a delicate palate. It has nice red cherry overtones and its freshness and charm are accentuated by a half-hour in the refrigerator prior to serving. Made with the Agiorgitiko (St. George) grape.

The Tasting Panel-California - "...a delightfully appealing nose of salted plum, chocolate, and beet. On the palate, ripe Bing cherry, mocha latte, and deeply sumptuous boysenberry make each sip increasingly pleasurable as minerality adheres to the lively frame. This one overdelivers."

France - Bordeaux- Made and designed for early and easy consumption, its light, bright red color hints at its light body. The nose is a melange of mint, eucalyptus, sage and rye bread. It is imbued with simple cola-tinged flavor and a youthful, tannic finish. A French bargain!

Virginia- A unique blend of Cabernet, Chambourcin and Merlot produces this exceptionally smooth semi-dry red wine. Its appealing spicy character and medium body enhance many dishes as well as light hors doeuvres. It is obviously well bred!

South Africa- An easy-drinking Shiraz-Pinotage blend, having a deep, dark, plum-ruby color, with ripe fruit aromas of plums and blackberries with hints of spiciness. Dry and fruity, the palate is well-rounded with a long aftertaste of ripeness and body with subtle tannins. No oak aging.
