A "Red Blend" is a type of wine made by combining different varieties of red grapes. This blending process allows winemakers to create unique flavors, aromas, and textures that highlight the best characteristics of each grape. Common grape varieties used in red blends include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, among others. Red blends can vary widely in taste, ranging from fruity and light to bold and tannic. They are popular for their versatility, making them suitable for various occasions and food pairings. Many regions, such as California and Bordeaux, are known for producing distinctive red blends that reflect their local terroir.
