CLEVELAND, Ohio \u2013 In July, we tried 10 wines from the last five vintages. All would be great on a hot day or night. This month’s batch comes from five countries, and all should be available in the Northeast Ohio retail market. We also choose one each month as our favorite. Cheers!<\/p>\n

Cranberry, strawberry, light, not too dry or acidic, good balance. A very versatile wine. It’s primarily made from Grenache with smaller amounts of Cinsault and Syrah. Good value.<\/p>\n

Pasqua<\/a>, Italy, red blend, 2017, $16<\/p>\n

Made in Verona, home of Romero and Juliet, this light-bodied wine has a smoky and minty flavor with dark fruit and is a tad herbal (green pepper?). Made from Corvina and Croatina grapes with a bit of Merlot. Went very well with pasta fagioli. Fair value. The label is the famed graffiti at the courtyard of Juliet’s house.<\/p>\n

Domaine Bousquet<\/a>, Mendoza, Argentina; Malbec, 2019, $13<\/p>\n

This organic wine looks rich and dark but tastes much lighter and is not very tannic. No nose to speak of. Raspberry and fresh fruit notes. No added sulfites, for those who think they are allergic to sulfites. Simple sipper.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Very smooth, unripened blackberry and not very tannic. We would have guessed Merlot or red blend. All of us said great value at $13.<\/p>\n

Smooth, light-bodied, organic and, like its Cab and Malbec counterparts, not very tannic at all. Definitely not sweet or jammy. If you are into organic wines, drink them soon. These are not meant to be laid down.<\/p>\n

We tried an older version of this wine and picked up some nice aging. Floral notes with orange, white peach and unripe pineapple. A little saline\/ocean as well. No oak. Deep gold, possibly from age. A tough find, but newer vintages are available. Venerable winery.<\/p>\n

Floral notes, pear, peach and very clean tasting, as one tasting pal put it. A refreshing sipper on a hot night. We have been trying wines from this winery for several years, and they always hit the mark. Fair value.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A rich milk chocolate bomb. Cherry notes, creamy, and a touch of sweetness. Versatile, would go with lots of different dishes – think barbecue or pizza. But $24 feels a little steep for this one.<\/p>\n

Slight candied apple in the aroma and a hint of lemon on the palate along with a buttery flavor and slight orange. Delicious. Went very well with roasted chicken, vegetables and potatoes, but also tastes great as a stand-alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Intriguing and tasty wine with notes of plum. With a hint of sweet tobacco in the aroma, it’s spicy and a bit smoky on the finish. \u00abCrianza\u00bb on a label indicates the wine has spent a year spent in oak. \u00abRioja\u00bb is the region.<\/p>\n
