Here's a breakdown of some popular red blend regions:
-
Bordeaux, France: The Bordeaux region is considered the birthplace of the red blend, with the most famous being the "Claret" or "Bordeaux Blend." The blend typically consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Bordeaux wines are known for their rich and full-bodied flavor, with a deep ruby color and a long, elegant finish.
-
California, United States: California red blends are known for their bold, fruit-forward flavor profile. They often feature Zinfandel, Syrah, and Petite Sirah as the dominant grape varietals, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and others often added for depth and complexity. California red blends are often full-bodied, with high alcohol content and a lush, juicy finish.
-
Tuscany, Italy: Tuscan red blends, often referred to as "Super Tuscans," are known for their balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. They are often made from a combination of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, with each grape contributing its unique flavor and structure to the blend. Tuscan red blends are often medium-bodied, with a bright, juicy fruit flavor and a velvety tannin structure.
- Spain: Spanish red blends, particularly those from the Rioja region, are known for their bold, spicy flavor profile. Tempranillo is often the dominant grape in Spanish blends, with Graciano, Garnacha, and Mazuelo contributing to the depth and complexity of the wine. Spanish red blends are often full-bodied, with a rich, bold flavor and a smooth, lingering finish. Ultimately, the specific flavor profile and structure of red blends will vary greatly depending on the region and the specific combination of grapes used. It's worth exploring the red blends from different regions to discover your favorite and find the perfect wine to complement your meal or occasion.
Currently, Red Blends outperform Merlot and Pinot Noir when it comes to global sales volume. If it continues its trend in increasing popularity, there is a chance that it might one day unseat the king of wine, Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemakers blend wines because it gives them control to design the wine that they like. Experimentation with blending techniques and grape varietals have led to new ideas when it comes to blends in the industry, so whether you're trying a budget wine like Apothic Red Blend or splurging on an all time favorite like Justin Isosceles Bordeaux, you can relax knowing you're enjoying a red blend.
