An indigenous wine of Greece, and the most widely planted red grape variety in that country. Known for high levels of fruitiness, particularly plum, a lack of acidity results in a lack of body. When blended with Cabinet Sauvignon, the resultant wine is often called Katoi. While there are tales of it being grown and consumed in Ancient Greece, there is no historical or genetic evidence to support these tales. |

Aglianico is a black grape grown in the southern regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers, making it probably the grape with the longest consumer history of all. A young Aglianico is very tannic and concentrated, requiring a few years of ageing before it can be approachable. As it ages, the fruit becomes more pronounced and the tannins more balanced with the rest of the wine. The trademark coloring of the wine is a deep garnet. [Score: 3.00] |

Alternate name for Alvarinho, a variety of white wine grape grown in Galicia (northwest Spain), Moncao and Melgaco (northwest Portugal). Albarino is a synonym for the Alvarinho grape, and is sometimes known as Cainho Branco. Almost all wine in Australia labelled as Albarino is in fact Savagnin. The grape is noted for its distinctive aroma, very similar to that of Viognier, Gewurztraminer, and Petit Manseng, suggesting apricot and peach. The wine produced is unusually light, and generally high in acidity. [Score: 3.00] |

Often mentioned as noble red variety, it is a cross between Petit Bouschet and Grenache, first cultivated in 1866 in France. It produces wines of a deep red color which also makes it useful in blending. However, as a young wine it lacks aroma and character, so aging is important when it can then produce a fruit-forward taste. Naturally high in alcohol, it can correspondingly produce higher alcohol wines. [Score: 3.00] |

Used to make dry white wines in the Burgundy region of France. The variety is more tolerant to the cold than other Burgundy grapes. The grape ripens early with moderate yields and produces wines high in acidity that can be drunk young. Its aroma includes elements of apples and lemons. It is often used for blending, adding acidity and structure to other varieties. [Score: 3.00] |

Armagnac is a distinctive kind of brandy produced in the Armagnac region in Gascony, southwest France. It is distilled from wine usually made from a blend of grapes including Baco 22A, Colombard, Folle blanche and Ugni blanc, traditionally using column stills rather than the pot stills used in the production of Cognac. The resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels before release. When Armagnacs of different ages have been blended, the age on the bottle refers to the youngest component. A three star, or VS, Armagnac is a mix of several Armagnacs that have seen at least two years of aging in wood. For VSOP, the aging is at least five years; and for XO, at least six. Hors d' ge means the youngest component in the blend is at least ten years old. Older and better Armagnacs are often sold as vintages, with the bottles containing Armagnac from a single year, the year being noted on the bottle. Production volume is based on the Wikipedia article, [Score: 3.50] |

Barbera is a red Italian wine grape variety that, as of 2000, was the third most-planted red grape variety in Italy (after Sangiovese and Montepulciano). It produces good yields and is known for deep color, low tannins and high levels of acid. When young, the wines offer a very intense aroma of fresh red and blackberries. In the lightest versions notes of cherries, raspberries and blueberries and with notes of blackberry and black cherries in wines made of more ripe grapes. Many producers employ the use of toasted (seared over a fire) oak barrels, which provides for increased complexity, aging potential, and hints of vanilla notes. The lightest versions are generally known for flavors and aromas of fresh fruit and dried fruits, and are not recommended for cellaring. [Score: 2.80] |

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country. Despite its prominence in the industry, the grape is a relatively new variety, the product of a chance crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc during the 17th century in southwestern France. Its popularity is often attributed to its ease of cultivation the grapes have thick skins and the vines are hardy and resistant to rot and frost, and to its consistent presentation of structure and flavours which express the typical character of the variety. While Cabernet Sauvignon can grow in a variety of climates, its suitability as a varietal wine or as a blend component is strongly influenced by the warmth of the climate. The vine is one of the last major grape varieties to bud and ripen (typically 1 2 weeks after Merlot and Cabernet Franc) and the climate of the growing season affects how early the grapes will be harvested. Many wine regions in California give the vine an abundance of sunshine with few problems in ripening fully, which increases the likelihood of producing varietal Cabernet wines. In regions like Bordeaux, under the threat of inclement harvest season weather, Cabernet Sauvignon is often harvested a little earlier than ideal and is then blended with other grapes to fill in the gaps. In some regions, climate will be more important than soil. In regions that are too cool, there is a potential for more herbaceous and green bell pepper flavours from less than ideally ripened grapes. In regions where the grape is exposed to excess warmth and over-ripening, there is a propensity for the wine to develop flavours of cooked or stewed blackcurrants. [Score: 3.26] |

Chardonnay is a green-skinned grape variety used to make white wine. It originated in the Burgundy wine region of eastern France but is now grown wherever wine is produced. The Chardonnay grape itself is very neutral, with many of the flavors commonly associated with the grape being derived from such influences as terroir and oak. It is vinified in many different styles, from the lean, crisply mineral wines of Chablis, France to New World wines with oak, and tropical fruit flavors. [Score: 3.15] |

Chenin blanc is a white wine grape variety from the Loire valley of France. Its high acidity means it can be used to make everything from sparkling wines to well-balanced dessert wines, although it can produce very bland, neutral wines if the vine's natural vigor is not controlled. It provides a fairly neutral palate for the expression of terroir, vintage variation and the winemaker's treatment. In cool areas the juice is sweet but high in acid with a full-bodied fruity palate. In the best vintages the grapes can be left on the vines to develop noble rot, producing an intense, viscous dessert wine which may improve considerably with age. [Score: 3.29] |

Cognac is a variety produced in the wine-growing region surrounding the town from which it takes its name. For a brandy to bear the name Cognac its production methods must meet certain legal requirements.The brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Troncais. The wine must be at least 90% Ugni Blanc (known in Italy as Trebbiano), Folle Blanche and Colombard, while up to 10% of the grapes used can be Folignan, Jurancon Blanc, Meslier St-Francois (also called Blanc Rame), Select, Montils or Semillon. The age of the Cognac is calculated as that of the youngest component used in the blend. Production volume is based on Google. [Score: 3.80] |

More commonly known as Malbec, the grape is only one of six that are allowed in the blend of red Bordeaux wine (the others being Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and rarely Carmenere). When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon it can bring very deep color, ample tannin, and a particular plum-like flavor component which adds complexity to claret. By itself it produces wines that are inky red (or violet) and intense. The grape has become the 'national variety' of Argentina, where it shows differences to its French counterpart, and produces wines with deep color and intense fruity flavors with a velvety texture, and a lack of the tannic structure of French Malbecs.

Although the Italian word dolcetto means 'little sweet one', the wines are almost always dry. They can be tannic and fruity with moderate to low levels of acidity, and are typically meant to be consumed within a few years after release. Flavors include black cherry and liquorice with some prune, and a characteristically bitter finish reminiscent of almonds. Many of the top Itialian estates produce Dolcetto on less favoured sites as an 'early to market wine' to generate some income for the winery while the Nebbiolo and Barbera are being matured.

Historically grown in the Savoy region of France, it is now most widely planted in Argentina, second in volume only to Malbec. The European grape used in blending to contribute to the mid-palate of wines. The Argentinean and Californian grapes produce very dense, medium to full bodied wines with a deep, inky purple color and moderate acidity. The wines often have black fruit and plum aroma and flavor notes that can develop into leather and tar notes. The wines are usually very long lasting, being good for 10 to 20 years in the bottle.

Alternate name for Gamay Noir, it is a purple-colored grape variety used to make red wines, most notably grown in Beaujolais and in the Loire Valley around Tours. Its full name is Gamay Noir a Jus Blanc. It is a very old cultivar, mentioned as long ago as the 15th century. It has been often cultivated because it makes for abundant production, however, it can produce wines of distinction when planted on acidic soils, which help to soften the grape's naturally high acidity. Gamay-based wines are typically light bodied and fruity. Wines meant to be drunk after some modest aging tend to have more body and are produced by whole-berry maceration. The latter are produced mostly in the designated 'Cru Beaujolais' areas where the wines typically have the flavor of sour cherries, black pepper, and dried berry, as well as fresh-cut stone and chalk.

Gewurztraminer is an aromatic wine grape variety, used in white wines, and performs best in cooler climates. The grape is a variety with a pink to red skin colour, which makes it a white wine grape as opposed to the blue to black-skinned varieties commonly referred to as red wine grapes. The variety has high natural sugar and the wines are white and usually off-dry, with a flamboyant bouquet of lychees. Dry Gewurztraminers may also have aromas of roses, passion fruit and floral notes. It is not uncommon to notice some spritz (fine bubbles on the inside of the glass). [Score: 3.60] |

A type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. Typical grapes used for ice wine production are Riesling, Vidal and Cabernet Franc. Many vintners are experimenting with making ice wine from other varieties - whites such as Seyval Blanc, Chardonnay, Kerner, Gew rztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Blanc, and Ehrenfelser, or reds such as Merlot, Pinot Noir, and even Cabernet Sauvignon. Production volume is based on Hectares of Ice Wine produced in Canada. |

Lambrusco grapes are indigenous to Emilia and neither clones nor sub-clones. Most Lambrusco wines are made from more than one Lambrusco variety and often blended with a number of specific blending grapes (max. 15%), such as Ancellotta (for color), Marzemino, Malbo Gentile, Cabernet Sauvignon (for body and structure), and others. The grape itself is not particularly sweet but many of the commercial Lambrusco versions are sweetened by either partial fermentation or with the addition of rectified concentrated grape must. When not fermented sweet, the Lambrusco grape is capable of producing an excellent dry wine with strawberry notes and a slight bitter finish. The most highly rated of its wines are the frizzante (slightly sparkling) red wines, designed to be drunk young. [Score: 4.00] |

This white grape is mostly grown for table grapes or ornamental purposes, but is notable as a parent of M ller-Thurgau and Madeleine Angevine. It ripens extremely early, in some cases by the 22 July, the feast day of Mary Magdalene, hence the name. It is a cross of Pinot and Trollinger. The grapes have a slight muscat taste and are well suited to vineyards at high latitudes and altitudes. It is very rare - a little is grown in Austria, Belgium, England and Romania. |

Malmsey historically referred to a plethora of very sweet Madeira wine made from a varierty of grapes. However, in 1986 EU regulations required that any wine bearing the name Malmsey contain at least 85% Malvasia grapes. Madeira, the traditional production area for Malmsey wine, cultivates around 39 hectares of Malvasia grapes, primarily Malvasia Branca de Sao Jorge, for use in its iconic fortified wines. This grape is prized for its natural acidity and sweetness, making it ideal for producing Malmsey’s rich, long-lived wines. This Port-style wine is known for its rich, full-bodied character.

Originally a Spanish grape, it is now widely grown throughout the western Mediterranean, particularly in France. It is more usually used in blended wine to produce a deeper red color, and less usually a wine unto itself because it is high in acidity, tannins, and astringency (dryness). [Score: 1.00] |

A Spanish grape variety primarily found in the northwestern part of the country. Most wines produced from Menc a have traditionally been light, pale, relatively fragrant red wines for early consumption. In recent years, much more concentrated and complex wines have been produced by a new generation of winemakers, primarily from old vines growing on hillsides, often on schist soils, in combination with careful vineyard management.Over the years, Menc a has been known under a variety of synonyms including: Fernao Pires Tinta, Giao, Jaen, Loureiro Tinto, Mencin, Negra, Negro, Mencia Roble, Tinto Mencia and Tinto Mollar.

Merlot is a darkly blue-coloured wine grape, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to derive from the Old French word for young blackbird. Merlot-based wines usually have medium body with hints of berry, plum, and currant. Its softness and 'fleshiness', combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. [Score: 3.09] |

A red wine grape variety primarily in the Savoy region of eastern France, with some also grown in Argentina, Australia, California, Switzerland and Sicily. The grape has many synonyms, and is often confused with Refosco, Calzin, and Mondeuse blanche, although all of these have different DNA. Adding to the confusion, some California produces blend the grape with Durif and call the product Petite Sirah. Mondeuse noire tends to produce deeply colored and very aromatic wines that can be very tannic but often have good aging potential. Some examples will have bitter cherry bite. |

Montepulciano is Italy's second most widely dispersed indigenous grape variety. It should not be confused with the similarly named Tuscan wine Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which is made from predominantly Sangiovese and is named for the village it is produced in, rather than for containing any Montepulciano grapes in the blend.Compared to most Italian varieties, Montepulciano has moderately low acidity and more mild (i.e. softer) than bitter edged tannins.

Created in 1882, it is a cross between a Riesling and a Madeleine Royale. It is Germany's second most cultivated grape, after Riesling. The wines often have sweet peach aromas with low acid and a range of fruity flavors, although many are considered 'boring' (ref: winefolly.com). They are almost always best consumed young.

Alternate name for Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains, generally. The Muscat variety of grapes of the species Vitis vinifera is widely grown for wine, raisins and table grapes. Their color ranges from white to near black. Muscat almost always has a pronounced sweet floral aroma. Muscat grapes are grown around the world. The breadth and number of varieties of muscat suggest that it is perhaps the oldest domesticated grape variety, and there are theories that most families within the Vitis vinifera grape variety are descended from the Muscat variety. Their 'grapey' quality makes many wines made from Muscat easy to identify. Production volume is based on the sum of all the Muscat varietals. [Score: 3.93] |

More commonly known as just 'Muscat', or 'Moscato', or 'Moscato d'Asti' for the effervescent version, Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains is a white wine grape that is a member of the Muscat family of Vitis vinifera. Its name comes from its characteristic small berry size and tight clusters. While technically a white grape, there are strains of Muscat Blanc vines that produce berries that are pink or reddish brown. The same vine could potentially produce berries of one color one year and a different color the next. [Score: 3.93] |

Muscat of Alexandria is considered an ancient vine, and may possibly be one of the oldest genetically unmodified vines still in existence. Greek folk lore says that Queen Cleopatra drank muscat wine from the island of Lemnos, where Muscat of Alexandria is heavily cultivated today. Wine made from Muscat of Alexandria has a distinctive taste of grapes. It is often used in blended wines. The grape is also sold as a table grape for eating, and for raisins. [Score: 5.00] |

Nebbiolo is a red Italian wine grape variety predominantly associated with the Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is thought to derive its name from the Italian word nebbia which means fog. Nebbiolo produces lightly colored red wines which can be highly tannic in youth with scents of tar and roses. As they age, the wines take on a characteristic brick-orange hue at the rim of the glass and mature to reveal other aromas and flavors such as violets, tar, wild herbs, cherries, raspberries, truffles, tobacco, and prunes. Nebbiolo wines can require years of aging to balance the tannins with other characteristics. [Score: 2.75] |

Palomino Fino is the principal grape used in the manufacture of Sherry. The wine formed by fermentation of the grape is low in both acidity and sugar which, whilst suitable for sherry, ensures that any table wine made from it is of a consistently low quality, unless aided by acidification. It is the fourth most common white grape variety grown in Spain. In France it is known as Listan, and in South Africa as Fransdruif or White French. [Score: 0.00] |

Pinot blanc is a white wine grape. It is a point genetic mutation of Pinot noir. Pinot noir is genetically unstable and will occasionally experience a point mutation in which a vine bears all black fruit except for one cane which produced white fruit. Bottles labeled Pinot Blanc offer fruity aromas, often of apple, citrus fruit, and floral characteristics. Bottles that are varietally pure, although more difficult to find, provide stronger floral characteristics, stone fruits and a headier minerality. Regardless of their exact composition, most wines under the label 'Pinot Blanc' are rather high in acidity and are vinified in tank, though more prestigious examples are fermented in large, 100 percent used oak barrels. Pinot blanc wines are usually made for immediate consumption and seldom meant for cellaring. [Score: 3.00] |

Pinot gris is a white wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. Thought to be a mutant clone of the Pinot Noir grape, it normally has a grayish-blue fruit, accounting for its name (gris meaning grey in French) but the grape can have a brownish pink to black and even white appearance. The word pinot, which comes from the word meaning pine cone in French, could have been given to it because the grapes grow in small pine cone-shaped clusters. The wines produced from this grape also vary in colour from a deep golden yellow to copper and even a light shade of pink, and it is one of the more popular grapes for orange wine. The grape grows best in cool climates, and matures relatively early with high sugar levels. This can lead to either a sweeter wine, or, if fermented to dryness, a wine high in alcohol.

Pinot Noir is a black wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. The name is derived from the French words for 'pine' and 'black' alluding to the grape variety's tightly clustered dark purple pine-cone shaped bunches of fruit. Pinot Noir grapes are grown around the world, mostly in the cooler regions, but the grape is chiefly associated with the Burgundy region of France. It is widely considered to produce some of the finest wines in the world, but is a difficult variety to cultivate and transform into wine. The tremendously broad range of bouquets, flavors, textures and impressions that Pinot noir can produce sometimes confuses tasters. In the broadest terms, the wine tends to be of light to medium body with an aroma reminiscent of black and or red cherry, raspberry and to a lesser extent currant and many other fine small red and black berry fruits.

Riesling is a white grape variety which originated in the Rhine region of Germany. Riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling white wines. Riesling wines are usually varietally pure and are seldom oaked. Riesling is a variety which is highly terroir-expressive, meaning that the character of Riesling wines is clearly influenced by the wine's place of origin. Riesling is most commonly grown in colder regions and locations. [Score: 3.73] |

A grape that is indigenous to the region of Umbria in Central Italy, it is grown primarily in the village of Montefalco and the surrounding area. The grape has one of the highest tannic levels (dryness) of any variety in the world - twice that of Cabernet Sauvignon. It creates wines that are inky purple with an almost-black center, and has a bouquet with dark, brooding red fruits with hints of plum, cinnamon, and earth. [Score: 2.50] |

Sangiovese is a red Italian wine grape variety whose name derives from the Latin sanguis Jovis, 'the blood of Jove'. The grape requires sufficient warmth to ripen fully, but too much warmth and its flavors can become diluted. In cool vintages this can result in the grapes having high levels of acidity and harsh, unripened tannins. Wine made from high-yielding vines tend to produce wines with light color, high acidity, and less alcohol, which are likely to oxidize (brown) prematurely due to a lower concentration of tannins and anthocyanins (anti-oxidants).

An acidic, teinturier-type grape variety native to Georgia, where it is used to make many of the region's distinctive wines. Saperavi grapes produce substantial deep red wines that are suitable for extended aging (perhaps up to fifty years). It has the potential to produce high alcohol levels, and is used extensively for blending with other lesser varieties. It is the most important grape variety used to make Georgian red wines.

Sauvignon Blanc is a green-skinned grape variety which originates from the Bordeaux region of France. The grape most likely gets its name from the French word sauvage (wild) and blanc (white) due to its early origins as an indigenous grape in South West France. Sauvignon blanc is planted in many of the world's wine regions, producing a crisp, dry, and refreshing white varietal wine. Depending on the climate, the flavor can range from aggressively grassy to sweetly tropical.The wine is usually consumed young, as it does not particularly benefit from aging, except for some oak-aged Bordeaux blends.

Semillon is a golden-skinned grape used to make dry and sweet white wines. The Semillon grape is rather heavy, with low acidity and an almost oily texture. It has a high yield and wines based on it can age a long time. Since the grape has a thin skin, there is also a risk of sunburn in hotter climates, so it is best suited to areas with sunny days and cool nights. [Score: 4.00] |

A hybrid wine grape variety used to make white wines. It is grown mainly in England and the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, as well as to a lesser extent in Canada. It is a cross of Seibel 5656 and Rayon d'Or (Seibel 4986). It has a characteristic citrus element in the aroma and taste, as well as a minerality that may be compared to white Burgundy. As it contains some non-vinifera (traditional wine) genes, it is outlawed by the EU authorities for quality wine production, which is an issue of conflict with the English wine industry.

Syrah is a dark-skinned grape grown throughout the world and used primarily to produce powerful red wines. DNA profiling in 1999 found Syrah to be the offspring of two obscure grapes from southeastern France, Dureza and Mondeuse Blanche. Syrah grapes are widely used to make a dry red table wine, which can be both varietal or blended. Due to their concentrated flavours and high tannin content, many premium Syrah wines are at their best after some considerable bottle aging. In exceptional cases, this may be 15 years or longer. Wines made from Syrah are often powerfully flavoured and full-bodied. The variety produces wines with a wide range of flavor notes, depending on the climate and soils where it is grown, as well as other viticultural practices chosen. Aroma characters can range from violets to berries (usually dark as opposed to red), chocolate, espresso and black pepper. No one aroma can be called typical though blackberry and pepper are often noticed. With time in the bottle these primary notes are moderated and then supplemented with earthy or savory tertiary notes such as leather and truffle. [Score: 2.86] |

Tempranillo is a variety of black grape widely grown to make full-bodied red wines in its native Spain. Its name is the diminutive of the Spanish temprano (early), a reference to the fact that it ripens several weeks earlier than most Spanish red grapes. Often blended with Grenache and Carinena, Tempranillo is bottled either young or after several years of barrel aging. In Portugal, it is blended with others to produce port wine. Often growing its best at higher altitudes, the grape yields wines Tempranillo wines are ruby red in colour, while aromas and flavours can include berries, plum, tobacco, vanilla, leather and herb. Often making up as much as 90 percent of a blend, Tempranillo is less frequently bottled as a single varietal. Being low in both acidity and sugar content, it is most commonly blended with Grenache, Carignan, Graciano, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. [Score: 2.86] |

Primarily grown in the northeastern region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Sudtirol, Italy. Wines have been produced from the grape since ancient times. With its spicy red fruits, and hints of tar, pine, and almond, and snappy acidity, it is loosely comparible to Zinfandel. [Score: 4.00] |

Vacqueyras is a French wine Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) in the southern Rhone wine region of France, along the banks of the River Ouveze. It is primarily a red wine region with some white and rose wines being produced. Being a little brother of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and, arguably, Gigondas, the wine is moderately prestigious and can yield pleasing results when treated correctly. The backbone of the wine is Grenache, however producers of Vacqueyras use more Syrah than is used in Gigondas which can make the style seem cooler. Production volume is based on Google.

The red wine known as Valpolicella is typically made from three grape varieties: Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Molinara, from the province of Verona, Italy. Most basic Valpolicellas are light, fragrant table wines produced in a nouveau style. Valpolicella Classico is made from grapes grown in the original Valpolicella production zone. Valpolicella Superiore is aged at least one year and has an alcohol content of at least 12 percent. Valpolicella Ripasso is a form of Valpolicella Superiore made with partially dried grape skins that have been left over from fermentation of Amarone. Production volume is based on the production volume of the most commonly used grapes. [Score: 3.40] |

Verdi Spumante is a sparkling blend of wine and cereals (think wine mixed with a hint of beer). But it is delicate, sweet and fruity, and is an excellent choice for any event calling for a casual sparkling wine, especially due to its low alcohol content, typically 5%.

Viognier is a white grape that can be a difficult grape to grow because it is prone to powdery mildew. It has low and unpredictable yields and should be picked only when fully ripe. When picked too early, the grape fails to develop the full extent of its aromas and tastes. When picked too late, the grape produces wine that is oily and lacks perfume. The grape prefers warmer environments and a long growing season, but can grow in cooler areas as well. The age of the vine also has an effect on the quality of the wine produced. Viognier vines start to hit their peak after 15 20 years. [Score: 3.11] |

Vranac is considered the most important variety of grape in Montenegro and one of the most important in the Republic of Macedonia (where it is known as Vranec).[3] As it is a local specialty and due to its localized geography, it produces a dry red wine of a unique taste and character that is synonymous with the Balkans. Vranac berries are large and deeply colored, with its dark berries growing on moderately vigorous and very productive vines. Young Vranac wines have a bright purple hue and a nose full of red berries and fruit jams. Its firm tannin structure provides crispness and richness, with medium to high levels of extraction and acidity. After a year or two of aging, the purple develops into an intense dark ruby and the nose develops a more complex aroma that can include hints of cinnamon, chocolate, liquorice, flowers, black fruits, herbs and even woods such as oak. The taste is subtle, round, and full. It loses its sharpness and develops a longer and smoother finish. [Score: 3.00] |

White Merlot is made the same way as White Zinfandel. The grapes are crushed, and after very brief skin contact, the resulting pink juice is run off the must and is then fermented. It normally has a hint of raspberry. White Merlot was reputedly first marketed in the late 1990s, and should not be confused with wines made from the white mutant of the grape. Production volume is unknown, but is likely very small. [Score: 3.00] |

White Zinfandel is an off-dry to sweet, pink-colored blush wine. White Zinfandel is made from the Zinfandel wine grape, which would otherwise produce a bold and spicy red wine. As such, it is not a grape variety but a method of processing Zinfandel grapes. Production volume is described as greater than the production of (red) Zinfandel in California. [Score: 3.00] |

Alternate name for Tribidrag, Zinfandel is a variety of red grape that produces a robust red wine. The taste of the red wine depends on the ripeness of the grapes from which it is made. Red berry fruit flavors like raspberry predominate in wines from cooler areas, whereas blackberry, anise and pepper notes are more common in wines made in warmer areas and in wines made from the earlier-ripening Primitivo clone. When grapes are harvested, the length of fermentation, the length of the maceration period with skin contact and the level of oak aging affect the wine's taste. The degrees Brix (sugar content) at which the grapes are harvested dramatically affect the wine's flavor as well. White Zinfandel is normally harvested early at 20 Bx when the grapes have yet to develop much varietal character, though some examples can develop hints of tobacco and apple skin. At 23 Bx (the degree that most red wine is considered ripe), strawberry flavors develop. Cherry flavors appear at 24 Bx followed by blackberry notes at 25 Bx. [Score: 2.86] |
