When you think of wines you typically think of ladies sipping rosé while wearing their “Everyday Rose” shirts. But wines don’t have to be so female-centric. There are plenty of wines for guys. Here are five wines made with men in mind.
Federalist Zinfandel Bourbon Barrel Aged – Bourbon barrels make anything better. You could age Nickleback in bourbon barrels and after six months “Rockstar” would be a ear-pleasing diddy. So when you take the already delightful Federalist wine and age it in bourbon barrels you only get more gooder Federalist wine.
The Federalist ages their Zinfandel and their Red Blend (76% Merlot). These luscious vinos are aged six months in charred bourbon barrels for an exquisite smoky and sweet flavor. Besides the expected black fruit tastes, you also get strong hints of caramel and vanilla. You also get a hefty 15.50% ABV. Thank you bourbon wine!
Adobe Road
Adobe Road Redline – This premiere Napa Valley wine is influenced by automobile racing. The bottle features a red-lining tachometer sure to get your pulse racing. This makes sense since a professional race car driver and team owner, Kevin Buckler also makes this wine. And a fantastic wine for that matter. Kevin was part of The Racers Group (TRG) before he started making exceptional wine in the heart of Sonoma County, California in 2002.
This 2016 Redline Red Wine explodes with dark cherries, blackberries, velvety dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla, and toasty anise. This is a potent wine with 14.8% ABV.
Ravage Cabernet Sauvignon – Using locally sourced ingredients, Ravage created this complex Cabernet Sauvignon that boasts dark, rich flavors. Delve deep into notes of dark berries, sumptuous mocha, and velvety vanilla. Hugh Mangum, co-founder of Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque, helped pair this uniquely delectable wine with mouthwatering summer grilling recipes.
lasorda wines
Lasorda Family Wines – Nothing is as Americana as baseball, and few have been such legends in America’s pastime as Tommy Lasorda. Now the Lasorda Family Wines present their own wines inspired by the illustrious MLB Hall of Fame manager. Lasorda, son of Italian immigrants, loves wine and has created his own brand of vino. His brand offers a Chardonnay with hints of Asian pear, lemon, peach blossom, and vanilla.
The longtime Los Angeles Dodgers manager also offers a Cabernet Sauvignon with delectable deeper notes of black currant, dark chocolate, and raspberry.
Scott Kelley Oregon Tempranillo 2016 – Tempranillo wines originally came from Spain, but this fantastically full-bodied wine comes to us from the Umpqua Valley of Oregon, an area that the Native Americans dubbed as the “land of hundred valleys.”
You’ll encounter silky smooth flavors from this wine aged in French oak barrels brought to us by Scott Kelley that features flavors of fruit, cocoa, and spice.
You’ll notice that the bottle has a fly fisherman on the label, which honors Scott’s dad who took him fly fishing on the Salmon River in Oregon as a kid, but sadly passed away last May.
