Body/Type

• Medium Bodied (5)
  

  Medium Bodied

  Often considered to be the most flexible and food-friendly wines, these wines, due to their fuller flavors, lower acidity and softer textures, also drink well by the glass.

  Acidity – malic, lactic and other naturally occurring acids in grapes which serve to balance the sweet and fruit flavors in a wine, also lending to the age-ability of a wine.

• Full Bodied (18)
  

  Full Bodied

  These wines, made from thicker-skinned, riper grapes, are often aged in oak, adding depth and complexity. These wines standup well to rich, intensely flavored foods.

Style

• Modern (22)

  Modern

  Wines that accentuate the characteristics of the grapes; clean and pure.  Great by the glass…and with food.

• Traditional (1)

  Traditional

  Wines that accentuate the characteristics of the soil and terroir; complex, minerally in the whites and earthy in the reds, these wines are often considered the best “food wines”

  Terroir – the combined effects of environment and winemaking technique that, when practiced consistently over the years, create a signature style of a particular region or wine type.

  Meet the CoolVines Wine Geek!  He’ll guide you toward – or away from! - wines that have a unique flavor profile: intentionally oxidized wines, earthy, stinky wines, wines with a bit of fritz on the tongue.  Look for him throughout our web site, and on the shelves in our stores, to point the way toward these geeky wines.
