Red Blends

Blended red wines are an excellent example of the whole being more than the sum of its parts. Some famous red blends are the wines of Bordeaux, Rioja, and Chateau Neuf du Pape. A blend can combine the best single varietal characteristics of several wines to create a distinctive and memorable new wine. This year's winner, an affordable Spanish blend of grenache and monastrell, is both juicy and fresh, with a soft balanced finish.  - Bruce Soley
