Meant to be served chilled and young, this peppy red has vibrant berry-basket aromas and flavors. It's a fresh, happy wine, very juicy with pure fruit. Goes well with crabcakes, and probably just as well with fiery curries. 1 Note

Big black-colored wine, juicy, spiced with wood. The rich berry fruits are powered by sweetness and only just a hint of acidity. The tannins show themselves as a dry core at the end. 1 Note

It may be a second-rate grape in France, but in Portugal Alicante Bouschet has really come into its own. This is a ripe, smooth wine, with dark plum skin tannins, red peppers and intense concentrated spice. Drink now. 1 Note

Almost black in color, this is a concentrated powerhouse of black plum, damsons and dark berry fruits. It is explosively rich and densely structured, with intense juicy fruit. 1 Note

Dark in color, with full-bodied black fruit flavors and a savory minty character, this wine is solid, with dry tannins and some spiciness. The aftertaste is dry, with considerable acidity. Give this at least a year’s aging. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA). 1 Note

A ripe, smooth, full-bodied wine, packed with chocolate and spice flavors. Round, rich, this has fruit-cake sweetness, balanced by a mouthful of juicy black fruits. Tannins taste low, but then this is a wine to drink now. 1 Note

The juiciness of Alicante Bouschet shows well in this full-bodied wine, packed with black berries and soft tannins. The dry finish suggests some aging—maybe 1 year. 1 Note

A juicy wine with cranberry fruit flavors, spice, and exotic berries, spoiled by a rustic, earthy, meaty edge. Not for aging. 1 Note

A full- in-the-mouth, juicy burst of black currant and spice is the hallmark of this delicious wine. It has fruit in abundance, while for those who like really spicy wood, that’s here as well. Enjoy the exuberance now, or hold for a few months. 1 Note
