A big style, built for rustic fare! Raspberry reduction, cinnamon, vanilla, anise, cedar and blackberries. Medium heavy mouthfeel exhibiting firm tannins and relatively dry. Mocha-raspberry, vanilla tobacco, lingonberry, and a light, dry mint on a dark and rich offering!

Nice red blend for #canadaday #bbqwine night with Ilovewine. Bottles are emptying faster than I can write reviews. This was from the value aisle. — 10 years ago

Rich red fruit like cherry and cranberry - soft tannins and delightful with steak and a salad #summertimewine #bbqwine #wine #argentina #malbec #corvina #masi — 11 years ago

Venturing to southern France's Languedoc-Rousillon seems a natural move for an effortless country meal. Brambly, feral Carignan, juicy Grenache and savory Syrah all shine in this sit-on-a-bench-and-watch-the-sunset kind of wine.

Lithe and sultry, this table wine from one of Tuscany's great Brunello producers is downright quaffable. Dense in flavor but lean on the palate, its flavors of red currant, leather, mint and black tea are a sumptuous match for a perfectly grilled steak.

#canadaday #bbqwine night with #ilovewine and her fam. Too many opened bottles to keep this strait. This red is lighter than the others and should have been opened first. #quaffable red. Light tannin. Sip panel but we ain't sippin! — 10 years ago

This was an enjoyable supper for #canadaday #bbqwine prep. Too much on the go for serious rating notes. A fruit forward off dry sipping rose. — 10 years ago

Every year Troon lets their employees have a blind mixing contest and the winner is what becomes that year's Druid Fluid. 2013 is a bit sweet on the start, bing cherry, fruity nose, gives way to some pancetta smoke. Guess what it pairs great with? Pretty tasty with @Olympic Provisions world class frankfurters at the cabin. #BBQwine — 11 years ago

Like perfectly grilled pork ribs, Steve Edmunds' Rhône blend has just the right amount of meat on its bones to satiate but not stuff you silly. It is robust and refined with flavors of dark wild berries, graphite, and hints of campfire smokiness.

In Spain's Basque Country, red Txakolina is more rare than its white sibling, but well worth seeking out. Organically farmed from 150+ year old vines of the indigenous Hondarrabi Beltza grape, this bottle's flavors of black plum, tomato leaf, herbs and crushed minerals pair fantastically with summer's vibrant, grill-kissed foods.

#canadaday #bbqwine night with Ilovewine and the gang. One of several Shiraz bottles on the night. Pretty typical shura spice. Palate was a bit blown out at this point due to actual consumption rather than tasting. Might need to do it over again for fairness in regards to a tasting review. — 10 years ago

Ilovewine showed up with this for #canadaday #bbqwine night. I think it went great with the #ribeye16oz bad boys. Bold. The Shiraz forces it's way to the front. Grenache finish. It's notable how the blend displays chronologically rather than in layers simultaneously. Decent, but needs red meat food stuffs. Cannot stand alone. — 10 years ago

Berries, medium acidity, off dry. Had a group of 12 taste this blind. No one guessed blueberry. Paired wonderfully with bbq baby back ribs. Not complex, but good balance between the fruit, soft tannin, acidity and sweetness. #bbqwine — 11 years ago

Gamay is the red wine king for easy-drinking deliciousness. This rendition hails from the North Rhône, where the cooler climate and granite soils contribute bright red fruit and mineral chisel. It's gulpable on its own or with food, and we love it chilled to highlight its fresh, zippy nature.

When @Littorai Wines' Ted Lemon makes wine, we pounce. In partnership with @Marquis Sauvage (who also owns Koehler-Ruprecht in Germany's Pfalz), Cashburn is the young-drinking cuvée from their Burn Cottage Vineyard, the first biodynamically planted vineyard in New Zealand's Central Otago. True to Lemon's style, it is a taut, lively, impeccably made Pinot Noir with classic tart fruit and earthy, floral aromas.

For nearly 20 years Mike Dashe has been stealthily making some of California's most compelling Zinfandels out of his Oakland winery. Medium-bodied with intense dark fruit and exotic spice, this bottle proves why Zin is a longstanding BBQ pairing favorite.
