Chateau Elan Winery, American Teroldego “The Roldec” Red Wine, Fingerprint Collection 2020 ($55)

Wine label

Teroldego is making a genuine play for market share in the domestic red wine world thanks to iterations like this one. Give this some airtime to tamp down a reductive note, and then enjoy the reveal of deep berry fruit and a bright fall spice top note. The palate is structured in a way that you can go serious or simple when pairing – it will adapt to whatever you would like to serve on the red meat side. Nice, and from a very unexpected source – who knew?
