21 Unusual White Wines That Will Pair Perfectly With This Unusual SpringThere are wines beyond your typical Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc…“Old Vine” in this case involves almost 50 years. Planted in 1971, the Hyland Vineyard produced an intense and complex Riesling in this Penner-Ash. A pleasant whiff of petrol (a mark of the variety) joins jasmine and stone fruit on the nose, followed by vibrant apricot and lemon flavors seasoned with a little orange zest through a long, beautiful finish.

21 Unusual White Wines That Will Pair Perfectly With This Unusual SpringThere are wines beyond your typical Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc…As with the Emeritus White Pinot Noir, this wine from Maggy Hawk has no reference points. Bright but structured, it falls halfway between a white and a red in terms of weight (although pressed off the skins quickly, it appears white). Hints of red fruits are outweighed by crisp pear and honeyed stone fruit.

25 of the Best Red Blends for 2020The label looks like a Lichtenstein on weed after a Quentin Tarrantino film and the liquid doesn’t smell or taste like the grapes that made the wine. It has a whopping high alcohol content, and whatever subtleties the wine had have been eaten by the heat. But it has a sweet fruit core and good acidity, so, with its cool bro label, it’s a fun gift wine or a bottle to drink with goopy BBQ. But hydrate, cuz yes, that says 15.1 percent alcohol.

25 of the Best Red Blends for 2020There are nine, NINE grape varieties in this wine. NINE! And somehow it works. Tons of this wine is made, and there are no real discerning characteristics, other than some dark-fruit notes, silky tannins, and a palate you want to chew on. Which is great! Because this is a big ol’ sloppy, juicy burger bottle. This bottle wants to get messy with you and wash it all down. And it’s under $15. Buy a case, fire up the grill, and get on that group text chain. It’s time for a cookout.

The palate introduces a mix of sour cherries and underripe stone fruits. With well-incorporated tannins, this rosé has the structure to pair with thinly sliced grilled red meat.

The 25 Best Rosé Wines of 2020 - #12An outlier in many respects, this Sonoma rosé is made from Italian variety Sangiovese, which most will know as the red grape used in Chianti. This bottle offers more than just novel appeal, though. It smells like bubblegum and whiter pepper, and the palate is lean with racy acidity. You’ll need to order directly from the winery, but this unicorn is worth the hunt.

The 25 Best Rosé Wines of 2020 - #15This Oregon Pinot Noir pours a delightful cotton-candy hue. The nose is floral, while the palate offers concentrated fruit (mainly sour cherries) and light tannins. Avoid serving too cold or you’ll miss out on its interesting textural character.

Wow, this is a phenomenal expression of this majestic Clarendon vineyard and is aptly named as the pinnacle of the range. The intersection of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz is so seamless, a selection of the best (and oldest) parcels form this blend. The fact they are both grown in the same contoured vineyard cements a deep bond in this wine. Dark cherries, blackberries, mulberries and blackcurrants with a gently leafy edge. The oak is perfectly integrated. Power and precision on the palate. So well defined and brightly flavored with raspberries, red plums, blackberries and a deeper, black-cherry and dark-plum build into the finish. Just superb. Drink over the next 15+ years. Screw cap.

Oh what a beauty! I'm drawn to this release more than the 2017 and that release was gorgeous in its own right. Stunning McLaren Vale Shiraz. A wine to embrace and keep close.Made with 25% whole bunches, it was wild yeast fermented with no pressings used before spending 15 months in Foudre. Certified organic and biodynamic.A little char initially, it's deliciously medium bodied. There's some punch here but it's with padded gloves. I'm captivated by the herby and savoury feels. That wonderful texture brings a calmness to it. I'm loving the width and that persistent length too. They just call you back time and time again. Blue fruits, dark berries and baking like spices all mesh together with ease. Silty tannins slide through but there's no escaping the soft, silky mouthfeel. Fabulous drinking. No one loses here.
