Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc can offer distinctive flavors of citrus fruit, melon, fig, herb and sometimes grassiness. This dry white wine can also offer vanilla and creamy flavors when introduced to oak. Typically light, crisp and full of fruit. Chardonnay Chardonnay in general produces wines, which are dry to medium dry with pear, apple, tropical or citrus fruit flavors. When little to no oak aging occurs, Chardonnay tends to be more crisp and fresh. With extensive oak aging, they become creamy and buttery with vanilla, spice and oak flavors. Chardonnay is the world’s most popular white wine grape and it is grown in virtually every wine-producing region. Riesling Riesling is one of the noble grape varieties and is capable of producing a variety of extraordinary white wine styles, and is most known for the sweeter-style it produces. These wines contain alluring floral bouquets and are filled with peach, honey and apricot fruit flavors. The much-touted variety produced in Alsace offers the same aromas and fruit flavors but is produced in a drier style and is famous for its food pairing capability. Pinot Noir Pinot Noir wines are known for their elegance and refinement. They often possess an exotic bouquet along with a velvety, mouth-filling texture. Pinot Noir exhibits flavors of ripe red fruit, cherry, chocolate, toast and spices. Most famous in Burgundy, where it is the only grape permitted in producing the famous red wines of the Côte d’Or, Pinot Noir thrives in cooler climates. Syrah Syrah (or Shiraz in Australia) is relatively easy to grow and produces wines from the easy-drinking, fresh style to the intense, full-bodied and highly concentrated style. The traditional flavors of Syrah include dense red and dark berry, violet, tar, pepper and spice. Syrah is widely planted around the world, although it seems to flourish in Australia, Washington State and in Rhône Valley of France. Merlot Merlot has captured the attention of the everyday wine consumer because of its fresh, ripe fruit appeal. It offers red fruit components such as cherry, plum and currants with hints of cedar prominent with oak aging.
Cabernet Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of the red wine grape varieties. It offers wonderful flavors consisting of blackcurrants, blackberry, chocolate, tar and leather. The beauty of this resilient red wine grape is the many different styles of wine it is capable of yielding. From the fresh, easy-drinking fruit-forward styles to the intensely big, dense and complex wines with firm tannins. Zinfandel Uniquely American, this exuberant red wine is capable of producing top quality red wines that can rival Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers an array of flavors including black and red fruit, spice, pepper, tar, licorice and wood. Zinfandel is produced in three distinct styles. The first is the fresh and fruity, easy-drinking style that offers charm and balance with light tannins, followed by the medium-bodied, fuller flavored Zinfandels with noticeable spiciness and ripe tannins. This is followed by the big, concentrated and powerful style with intense fruit and unbelievable richness.
