Mark Ryan Winery's Long Haul Red Blend from Washington State, $55 and rated at a score of 91. This wine is primarily Merlot (84%), with the remainder being Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Malbec. It offers a rich fruit aroma with notes of toasted bread, black cherry, earthy undertones of coffee bean and chocolate that are both complex and elegant.
Underground Wine Project's Idle Hands Red from Oregon ($30) is another collaborative effort between winemakers Trey Busch and Mark McNeilly. Almost entirely Syrah in composition, it presents an aromatic bouquet of quince, strawberry, bacon fat, baking spices like cinnamon and orange peel.
Lastly there is Underground Wine Project's Devil’s Grip Syrah ($30), also from Oregon. With flavors of dark chocolate-covered cherries mixed with citrus notes including lemon zest combined with spice such as cumin to create an intriguing blend that promises to be enjoyable but leaves us wondering about its specific grape variety or name.
These wines offer a diverse range for your next BBQ gathering or casual dinner party no matter what your taste may be.
