The door has opened for me to the world of Red Wine's and I'm starting to appreciate the nuances and why it can be appealing to enjoy a nice glass of wine.
I still have a lot to learn and for now have graduated from $4 Trader Joe's to $13 Malbec's and now venturing into the $40 options. There is obviously a huge difference between these price points and unfortunately, I haven't found much in the $20-30 range as they all taste about the same as the Malbec.
Thus far most $40 wines I've tried have been amazing and I even tried a $90 Cabernet that was just wow, but too pricey to become a habit so I'll settle for $40-50 wines as I still hunt for decent $20-30 choices to curb my budget.
My choices at $40-50 all 2019 vintage
- Caravan Darioush
- Amici
- Royal Prince
So far the Amici was the best, followed by the Royal Prince. Caravan was nice too.
I'm finding I prefer a more dry taste or those with lower tannin bitterness. The dryness helps offset for any bitter tannin flavors.
While I like the fruity forwardness of a Malbec and other cheaper wines, I don't find that as appealing with more expensive wines and prefer something more balanced and I'm assuming 'full bodied', but I'm still learning what exactly that is describing.
