Please post your reviews for red wines here. I encourage everyone to participate in a lively discussion of their favorite red wines. Your review may be as formal or informal as you like. It would be great if you could also rate the wine on a 100 point scale.
Petite Sirah Wine

34 members

I for one, consider drinking a glass of red wine as a perfect ending to any dinner occasion. A bottle of Petite Sirah could only mean one thing. That there are better things to come. So whenever I see one at the center table, I'm reminded of the good laughs, cheers, and stories I've shared with my family and friends. Anything is better with this tasteful bottle of red wine. What I also love about Petite Sirah is the full-bodied taste that leaves a mouthwatering sensation. That's why I love to drink slow and let the rich flavors linger through.

I usually can't imagine a glass of Petite Sirah without thinking about good food. So believe me when I say that Petite Sirah is best with stews and flavored chops of meat. I have the privilege of knowing it through experience. Its rich texture and ripe flavors are great with lamb chops and game stews. I would also suggest that you try it with goose. Petite Sirah is great for enjoying a hearty meal.
Pinot Noir Wine

Pinot noir grape may be quite difficult to cultivate and vinify, but it produces the finest wine in the history of mankind. Originally from the region of Burgundy, France, pinot noir is now grown and cultivated in several places outside of scenic France such as Austria, Australia, Chile, Canada, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Moldova, Switzerland, and the United States. Specifically, Oregon vineyards has thus far become one of the most successful planting fields of pinot noir primarily because of their exceptional climate that so well matches the grape's nature.

Pinot noir wine, a light-colored red wine, is aromatic and flavorful, suggestive of black cherry, tomato, raspberry, strawberry, cinnamon, mint, and mushroom. It is velvety in texture and seductive in nature, and may typically go well with any food because of its versatility. And in fact, any meal becomes extra special with a bottle of pinoit noir wine and a romantic toast.
Sangiovese Wine

42 members

Sangiovese refers to the exquisite red wine which is produced from red grapes of the same name. Having originated in Italy, the Sangiovese wine obtained its name from the Latin phrase "sanguis Jovis" or "the blood of Jove."

The Sangiovese wine originated from its traditional home in Tuscany, and soon spread into other Italian regions and provinces. The Sangiovese eventually became popular outside Italy, especially in Australia and the United States. The Sangiovese grapes have 14 clones, the most popular and well-noted being the Brunello.

The flavor and taste of Sangiovese wines are generally described as fruity, and are often compared with a number of fruits and other flavors to make an even more accurate description for its flavor and aroma. Fruits like strawberries, plums, blueberries, and orange (peel) describe its fruity taste. It is also said to have a slightly floral smell similar to that of a violet. Spices like thyme, cinnamon, and clove are said to share a tangy flavor with the Sangiovese.

The Syrah is a spicy and intense purple wine that fully reflects its combined French and Middle Eastern origins. It is also called Shiraz in South Africa, Canada, and Australia. Syrah is full bodied and has a rich and chewy texture with aromas that exude of chocolates, berries, espresso, and black pepper.

Syrah is primarily produced in Australia, the Rhone Valley in France, and the US. In Australia, Syrah production is prominent in the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and the Clare Valley. Syrah produced from these regions are extremely full bodied and have high alcohol content.

French Syrah has a diverse character and style. Syrah produced from the Hermitage region has a tannic texture and flavor while Côte-Rôtie Syrah has a fruity and fragrant nature.

In the US, Syrah is primarily produced in California and Washington state. California Syrahs have varying character depending on the climate and environmental conditions in which the vines were grown. Syrah is often mixed with other Rhone varietals in the warmer regions of the US.
