Other red varietiesIn a perfect world these wines would all have their own sections; they certainly warrant it. The titanic US Zinfandels all shout for attention to those seeking size, width, ripeness and alcoholic intent. Mourvedre (or Monastrell, if you're Spanish) is more usually found blended with Grenache and Shiraz to make Chateauneuf-du-Pape (France) or GSM (Oz), but on its own creates lovely, dark, fragrant, spicy/herby efforts, and who can forget the claims of the pride of Argentina, malbec? |
Wine List for Other red varieties

Catena Zapata Malbec 2006 - Argentina
Winery:
Rich, deep, sweet fruit flavours set this apart from most other Argentine reds, many of which tend towards jamminess and firm tannin. This is refined and elegant and shows what is possible with Argentina’s flagship grape variety.

The Ruins Organic Pinotage 2008, Bon Cap - South Africa
Winery:
Good example of the Rainbow nation's own grape variety. Some bright, clean red fruit character, with nice texture, richness and a lingering finish. None of the nasty burnt rubber/dried banana character that can blight this variety.

Beaujolais Vieilles Vignes 2006, Alain Chatoux - France
Winery:
Recent 'Best in class' in a Decanter magazine tasting of Beaujolais confirms our feeling that this is one of the best sub-£10 bojollys around. Light but intense flavours, good mid-palate richness and length to the finish all point to an excellently made wine.

Gamay de Touraine 2008, Domaine de la Presle - France
Winery:
Lovely juicy acidity complements the red and strawberry fruit palate. There's a hint of green pistachio in the mix and this gives the wine a slightly firmer edge then a Beaujolais from the same grape. It finishes with a real zing that is even better when the wine is chilled.

Pulenta Estate Malbec 2007 - Argentina
Winery:
Malbec, which, with its thick, extravagant berry flavours, can feel like wrapping yourself in a velvet hood and falling into an endless dark well, is also done very well in Argentina. Pulenta Estate Malbec La Flor 2005 from Mendoza, is beautifully perfumed and offers a lot for its price tag. This sort of wine makes me crave a melting beef fillet cooked with sweet jellies. Failing that, a barbecue. Or you could try a barbecue. Or even a barbecue ...

Morgon 2007, Marcel Lapierre (biodynamic) - France
Winery:
Fabulous, definitive Morgon. Seems expensive for Morgon, we know, but this falls into that category of wines where all one remembers is the wine, not the price one paid. This wine is exactly the reason us independent merchants still do well; Tesco could never sell this stuff in a million years. They just wouldn't have the class.
