Dust off the decanter, make some room in the fridge, get out your corkscrew and stemware (or even your juice glasses), and get ready to pop some corks. It’s a new year and we’re eager to dive into the world of red wine — trying new bottles and revisiting some old favorites from the last year of tastings.
Here at VinePair we try mountains of red wine every year and encounter so many different styles from juicy and chillable Gamay to tannic and earthy Bordeaux blends. The following reds represent the cream of the crop — the bottles that stood out above the rest. There are stellar Pinot Noirs from Sonoma to Australia, elegant Brunello di Montalcino, and spicy Syrah, but beyond these classic expressions we’ve uncovered gems like Zweigelt from Oregon, Alicante Bouschet from the Central Coast, and Csókaszőlő from Hungary. So whether you’re looking to stick to your favorite regions this year or try something new, there’s a wine on this list for you.
From weeknight bottles to special occasion splurges, here are the 30 red wines that should be in your glass this year.
