Feel The Real Winegasm With These 10 American Wines

The United States have had a history when it comes to producing some class-a wines. Well, here’s us trying to tell you that if you haven’t tasted a wine American style, you might still be missing out on a lot of opportunities to encounter the real experience of oenophilia.

Again, we are at your rescue with a roadmap to the right explorations with these 10 wines. Through a detailed procedure of getting reviewed by our judges in the London Wine Competition and claimed their medals. So when we say feel the real winegasm, we mean it.

1. Silverado Vineyards Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon by Silverado Vineyards

Silverado Vineyards Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon by Silverado Vineyards

95 points

A strong red wine that has a fragrance of ripe cassis, black currant, and dark cherry with a very slight hint of vanilla. The integration of tannins on the palate helps the wine lend a very bright rich taste that subtly settles well with the flavors it brings and has a mildly sweet aftertaste. The drink would pair beautifully with the rich and heavy combinations.

2018 Overlook Chardonnay by Landmark Vineyards

94 points

A wine that is crafted from 42 separate blocks of grapes that are sourced from the premium Sonoma County vineyards. With a very focused team working round the clock to deliver the taste of this exquisite wine to the drinkers, this wine is an explosion of flavors. The color has the appearance of yellow lemon and compliments the fragrance of ripe lemons. The aroma consists of baked yellow apple, peach, butterscotch, and chamomile flower with a hint of lemon-grass notes to give it an extra refreshing finish with an aftertaste of zesty lemon. The drink is an example of unconventional fusions gone right and deserves to be in your cellar.

The 2018 Overlook Chardonnay continues to look and taste like a wine that has won a gold medal in the London Wine Competition as it has. What remains is the experience that comes with trying this wonder wine, like we said it has to be in your cellar.

Soft, generous, and fleshy with notes of red cherries, cranberries, plum, pepper, and cinnamon. The spices and the base taste of the wine deliver the medium-bodied palate with a subtly settled touch that helps with the sweet finishing of the wine that is quite primary to notice. The wine is already a tasting experience but continues to improve with time as it ages. In a bit simpler term, this wine goes for all occasions to make them elegant and deserves to be a part of your good times.

94 points

The wine consists of an aromatic experience that will blow your mind considering its well-integrated ingredients such as the ripe black currant jam with an addition of black cherry, black plum with a hint of vanilla, toasted oak, chocolate and to make the taste compliment the aroma, there’s a touch of coffee and sweet vanilla that gives the wine a very smooth finishing and makes it exquisite drink overall. The wine will continue to age 3-5 years after too. The drink might just be the missing piece of your masterpiece cellar.

The CYRUS has also claimed a gold medal in the London Wine Competition, backing all the claims it has done, and it’s not bragging if you can back it.

The aromas of the drink are complex that gives the drink quite time to settle with the taste buds, making it a treat for the mouth. The addition of red ripe peppers, Cassis, liquorice and a slight hint of vanilla will make the drink an overall first-class oenophilia episode. The palate consists of a richly textured, potent, and immediately seductive appearance. Finishing of the drink comes with a dry but slight spiced-up encounter that merits and might cherish the attention of the drinker.

The readiness of the ripe cassis, blackberry that adds a touch of mint on the nose of the wine is too impressive. The palate that is consisted of flavors such as ripe fruits, a hint of spices and herbs. The entirety of the drink balances well with its aroma and flavors that deliver an overall soothing finish and a quite lasting aftertaste. The best way to have it would be pairing it with a steak.

An intense aroma packed with a bunch of flavorful ingredients, that’s an overview of this beauty. The fragrances of cooked black cherry and blackberry jam. A palate that consists of powerful and rich ingredients that have a strong character and help the wine deliver an excellent aftertaste of dark chocolate with a touch of sweet spices. The drink is a wonder in itself after decanting and serves best with roasted pork and lamb. Get yourself one of these already since we cannot stop talking about these anytime soon.

Deep ruby-colored pour with a nose of ripe cassis, herbs, and boysenberry that gives a settling flavour and is an experience for the mouth to contain the tastes. The palate shows the expressions of dry fruits with additions of vanilla toasted wood, sweet fruits with a hint of chocolate, and a little touch of bitterness towards the finishing that leaves the aftertaste worth the memory. An overall well-balanced wine that goes on to carry the American winemaking legacy.

91 points

Rich appearance on the palate with flavours of intense characteristics such as damson and cherry with acidity that balances the taste of the wine well and makes it a very soothing happening for consumption. The nose is powerful with a touch of strawberry and red cherries. A very fantastic wine served best with the feathered game can be the meat of your choice, the drink delivers best regardless.

10. Twisted Cedar Malbec by CBC BevCo

Twisted Cedar Malbec by CBC BevCo

Characteristics of a fruity wine but quite notably a restraint too. Sweet fruited ingredients that add flavorful hints to the drink such as the blueberry and mulberry with their nuances of mint. The overall wrapped up wine with a touch of the ripe and accessible palate that is the really broad and quite balanced texture that helps the overall appearance of the drink. The finishing is really ripe and rich in taste and gives a strong aroma of its ingredients. In a very American fashion, the wine is quite composed and is the drink for all times.

The Twisted Cedar Malbec has won a gold medal in the London wine competition and is no doubt always a good companion for all times.

The above-mentioned wines were all gold medal winners in the London Wine Competition and have finished in style with their evaluation out of taste, value for money, and packaging.
