| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | “Tinto Rey,” or “Red King,” is the proprietary term chosen for this blend by J. L. Guigiere and Crew Wine Co. Grapes are Syrah (43%), Tempranillo (40%); Malbec (7%); Petit Verdot (6%) and Graciano (4%). But it’s not a “meritage,” because some of the grapes included (Syrah, Tempranillo and Graciano) aren’t Bordeaux varieties. Dunnigan Hills is located in Yolo County, Sacramento Valley. This full-bodied dry red wine spares no pains to connect with the power of the grape. Deep and concentrated, it presents aromas that dip into the caramel character provided by American oak. Thereafter dark fruits take command of the palate, but aren’t jaw-breaking. The finish shows a little heat, but cooling the wine down will take care of that. Foods: Robust foods: steak with chimichurri sauce or creamy soft blue, braised meats with potatoes and root vegetables; meat pies; stews; grilled meats (lamb; duck); game; robust cheeses; dark chocolate.
