About this deal

Blind tasting: This allows for an unbiased evaluation of the wine and is when the identity of the wine is hidden from the taster. A powerhouse of a bottle, Carlisle’s 2017 Papera Ranch is an excellent Zinfandel with plenty of depth and character. It’s extraordinarily deep and features a wide range of dark, jammy flavors with a long, dry finish. This is a wine to pair with a range of strong-tasting dishes to really bring out each and every element of its personality. Expect fruit-forward notes, typical of a Zinfandel, with an earthy, herbal structure. The fun is all in the trying, but there are a few things to think about when seeking out your latest bottle. has been a year like no other at VinePair, in wine country, and beyond. But despite, or perhaps because of, the uncertainty this year has brought, the VinePair team has tasted thousands of wines over the last 12 months. Across in New York, another hotspot in the United States, you’ll find Ravines Wine Cellars with its famed tasting rooms and wineries, and Keuka Lake, set among the state’s largest and most celebrated wine-producing region. Nearby sits Glenora Wine Cellars, the first winery on Seneca Lake, and one known for its impressive daily wine tastings and cellar tours.

The makers recommend eating with juicy sausages and burgers to balance out the dryness, but we also enjoyed it with cheese, charcuterie and chutneys, which worked nicely with the acidity.Most Sauvignon Blancs are left as dry white wines, with a few brands preferring to leave a small amount of residual sugar for a richer consistency. It’s a crisp and light wine with flavors of citrus like green apple, lime, and vanilla. Syrah: It's the most expensive red wine in our line-up – join Which? to find out if it's worthy of a Best Buy.

Cabernet Sauvignons are rich, robust red wines from the Napa Valley. These wines are full-bodied and are made up of dark fruit flavors mixed with spices and earthy aromas. It’s one of the world’s most widely recognized red wine grape varieties and is most commonly aged in French oak. Chardonnay: All wines on this list have been tasted and reviewed by VinePair’s tasting panel. We compiled an exhaustive list of our favorite wines this year, then whittled it down to 50 based on quality, value, and availability in the U.S.Sauternes wines get their character from their grapes, which come from the Sauternes region of Bordeaux and have been affected by Botrytis cinerea, which you might know as “noble rot”. This results in distinct and concentrated flavors, of which Château d’Yquem’s 2005 promises plenty. Our experts advised looking at wine pairings like a sauce – think of the headline flavours in your dish, and try to match the ingredients and intensity as best you can. This wine is a brilliant, golden color with fresh acidity and notes of honeycomb, orange blossoms, and saffron. It’s a bottle for the impatient; perfect for drinking this year. While it begins as a subtle wine, it’s one that grows with each sip, with a concentrated nose of apricot, honey, and marzipan, and earthy notes of dried citrus. It’s well-rounded and medium-sweet with a velvety texture. Godello is an overlooked Spanish white variety that deserves a spot on your radar. If you’ve never tried it, start with this bottle. With aromas of sliced pear and a bouquet of white flowers, this wine will make you thirsty and also, somehow, quench your thirst. It is alive with vibrant acidity and the texture of tiny fizziness. The alcohol is a bit high, so we recommend pairing this bottle with food. As a rule of thumb, if something 'grows' together, it probably goes together. This means Italian wines work well with Italian dishes, and so on. Any wine heavy in tannins will work well with nice fatty food, but for items such as oily fish you're better off with a low-tannin option such as a pinot noir.
