The USA Wine Ratings looks to recognize, reward, and help promote wines that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker. For any wine brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s wine list - and then vitally stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it. That is why the USA wine Ratings are different. It will single out and shine the spotlight on those wine brands that consumers really want to buy and have a clear market value for trade buyers.

2018 Peaks & Tides Cabernet Sauvignon retails for $11.99 and is available at ALDI’s supermarket.

This is a dry, full-bodied, robust, and fruit-driven red wine with ripe, supple tannins and a generous mouthfeel. It is redolent with blackberry, blueberry, violet, light tomato leaf, and graphite, toasted cedar, and vanilla with a peppery finish. This will pair with a variety of meats as well as cheeses, said Susan R Lin MW.
