Other Red

We currently use the designation "Other Red" for wines from up-and-coming red grape varietals. You will find Other Red wine ratings for grapes such as Blaufränkisch, Tannat, Carmenère and Bonarda. As we accumulate more wine reviews for these grapes, they may gain their own categories.

Sort By:

Alain Brumont 2006 Château Bouscassé Vieilles Vignes Tannat (Madiran)

Price $50

Some vines at Bouscassé are 150 years old, which inevitably give this wine great depth and concentration. It is hugely structured, with very rich, intense black-plum flavors. The tannins are still developing. — R.V. (6/1/2012)

Weninger 2007 Dürrau Cuvée Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

This is Weninger’s top wine, an impressive array of spice, black berry fruit, dusty tannins and layers of wood and acidity. There is weight and restrained power here, a dark structure. Age 5-6 years. — R.V. (3/1/2011)

Weninger 2006 Dürrau Cuvée Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

A highly perfumed wine from old vines, aged for 24 months in wood. The tannins are dusty, with wood very present but not overwhelming the fruit. It is rich and structured, but also sophisticated and elegant, with final ripe black fruits showing well. — R.V. (3/1/2010)

Domaine Berthoumieu 2007 Charles de Batz Tannat (Madiran)

Cellar Selection

Price $25

Tannat at its most expressive, this wine boasts dense tannins that roll deeply around the wine. But the fruit is of such an intensity that it keeps up a fine equilibrium. It is a seamless, impressive wine, projecting its power easily. — R.V. (3/1/2010)

Ernst Triebaumer 2007 Ried Mariental Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

One of Austria’s iconic reds, Mariental comes from a single vineyard in the hills above Rust on the Neusiedlersee. It is finely perfumed, the perfumes following through to the rich but firm palate, which is elegant and dense in texture, with ripe blueberry and strawberry fruits founded on solid tannins. Age for several years. — R.V. (7/1/2010)

Gesellmann 2007 Hochberc Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

Cellar Selection

Price $31

Tobacco and wood aromas open into a beautiful, perfumed wine. The cherry and loganberry fruits are rounded with cocoa, mint and vanilla from wood. This is an impressively structured wine. Age for 2–3 years. — R.V. (3/1/2010)

Château d’Aydie 2008 Tannat (Madiran)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

The estate wine of Aydie is the most serious and long-lasting of the range produced by the Laplace family. It has an intense, concentrated structure, very dark and rich, with a mineral edge. Age for 4–5 years. — R.V. (3/1/2012)

Judith Beck 2006 Altenberg Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

Cellar Selection

Price $60

This is Judith Beck’s flagship wine, a single vineyard Blaufränkisch, firmly tannic, solid, chunky, but still keeping a wonderfully perfumed character. The fruit is very pure, black berry juice dominant, along with acidity. Impressive and worth aging. — R.V. (3/1/2010)
