20 Best Wine For Prime Rib (2023 Updated)

I was searching for highly reviewed wine, and recalling the store clerk’s recommendation for Cupcake Prosecco, the week before(which we didn’t purchase), we figured we’d give it a try. After all, it had over 4K positive reviews, at 4.

5 stars. Fortunately, my guy thought ahead, and purchased two other label PGs. At first drink, I choked, and my guy was highly entertained by my facial expressions of disgust as I coughed between “oh my god” statements.

Being the trooper that I am, I insisted on giving it another taste. I did not hesitate when my guy, between laughs, suggested tossing out what was left in my wine glass, and in the bottle, down the sink.

I have absolutely no idea who, or why, would give Cupcake Pinot Grigio the positive and high star reviews. This PG is definitely a 5 star if provided in a brown paper bag, which it should be. Bleh.

I love love LOVE this wine! It really hits the spot on a Friday night after a loooong week at work. I recommend it to all of my friends and family. I always keep this wine replenished in my fridge!

This is an absolutely fabulous wine on hot summer days! It is the perfect balance of not too sweet, not too dry with hints of lychee and citrus. We chill the bottle and keep it in a bucket of ice and we also freeze grapes and drop tjem.

in the wine to help keep it cold. Thank me later!.

There’s nothing unpleasant about this wine, except that it is far lighter than cabernet lovers would expect – no depth, no tannins, nothing but light, sweet grape flavor with just a hint of spice. It approaches Pinot Noir in character, with few redeeming graces.

It IS cheap and inoffensive, but completely unrewarding.

This is my go to middle of the road red! Great flavor for the price and not too sweet like most lower priced Cabernets. I would suggest this bottle to anyone who enjoys a red blend as well because the flavor is not overwhelming.

I love a good bottle of cab, it’s a really good Cabernet, the taste is great, is easy to drink and very smooth. Deep berry notes and a good jammy flavor. Pairs with almost anything. I enjoy this brand of wine, is a really good one, and and is super affordable.

There are two or three types of [brand:rodney-strong] Chardonnay. The cheapest ones is good, perfect for a large family or friends. The second and their most expensive are just great. Go well with fresh pasta dishes (no sauce) or fish or chicken.

Smooth, oakie but just right. Great wine! We love it. We always buy it.

Love this wine! I’ve visited their vineyards by Healdsberg CA. My loving husband will get me a couple of cases for any special occasion, and there are many! Total Wine in Burnsville MN makes it easy for him to call in an order and pick it up at 8 AM.

Has a soft golden/sunlit color. I immediately tasted grapefruit, mild and flavorful. Fragrance is the same. Delicious Chardonnay fills your mouth and crosses your tongue. Crisp and slightly citrus. I would buy it again.

I really loved this wine. I typically go for moscatos and sweeter wines. I really like the balance, crisp, and freshness of this wine. Also, the twist top makes it wayyyyy easier for storage. I prefer this to the California Roots Moscato which is way too sweet.

The design is cute and it tastes wonderful.

Great wine! Delicious sweet crisp flavour with a little tartness. I bought this on a whim, largely due to the cheap price tag, and I was extremely impressed. This is now my go-to. Excellent if you like a sweet white wine (not super sweet).

Nice mixed with ginger ale too if you want something weaker.

I enjoy port wine. It should be rich, bold and smooth. Taylor port is none of these. I took one sip and dumped out the remainder of the glass. The heavy concord grape flavor hits you and it is pleasant at first then the alcohol wave hits.

There is no balance. My impression was someone mixed Welch’s grape juice and rubbing alcohol. For a few dollars more try Cockburns or any other port for that matter.

Our wine-tasting group of 6 folks tried 4 different pinot noirs that had been well-reviewed by Total Wine customers: all 4 stars or above, all reviewed by more than 5 customers. We restricted our choices to price points between $10 and $20, arbitrarily.

The Hob Nob was the only French pinot that our group tasted, and our consensus opinion was that it had no significant virtues that would merit a recommendation (or a future purchase). It had some nose, but not particularly pleasant.

It tasted thin and had very little fruit character, and it left a slightly edgy aftertaste. Overall, disappointing for a French pinot noir — even at its modest price point.

I first had it at a Japanese steakhouse in NYC during wine tasting night. I wrote down the name and could not believe it was a $10 wine when I found it later at Total Wine. It’s excellent.

My wife and I tried a bottle in an attempt to broaden our selection. The experience was not unpleasant, although my wife thought it a bit dryer than she prefers. The following morning was a different story as we both woke up with the worst headaches.

While I can’t say for certain it was the wine, I was the only factor that was out the norm. Will not be buying this again.

Smell slight smokey scent of tabacco, sweet smell of dark cherries and bright tangy blackberries, full bodied, not real dry. This wine has a long finish and leaves a lasting impression on the palate.

I really love this cab!! Would definitely recommend this, especially to first time cabernet drinkers, it is very pleasing and extremely enjoyable paired with just about anything! I had it with roasted chicken breasts & small klondike potatoes with large sliced Portabella mushrooms, onions & garlic, extra virgin olive oil, Mediterranean seasonings and this wine to simmer in the last 10 minutes !! Enjoy!!.

Rich, smooth, and flavorful is how I would describe this wine. I tasted the fruit, the wine was not dry, and I felt it some body to it which I like. Lovely cab to pair with a flavorful dinner. I am not a wine expert and am learning.

I think if you like fruit forward wines that are not bone dry you might like this Cabernet.

Deep, dark nose aligns with layers of intense black currant and blueberry. Dark fruit flavors continue on the palate and marry with ripe cherry and blackberry. Fine grained tannins and perfect balance followed by a long, lingering finish with hints of oak.

Beautiful!.

sweet berries (as opposed to ripe berries) on the nose and some hints of cola. smooth mouthfeel and some grip. but overall the predominent feeling is it is sugary. eminently drinkable, but a little too sweet for me and lacks complexity.

this was the #1 best selling merlot at the Westbury location. I can see that. Good for the casual wine drinker. this is more of a $10 bottle. Label is nondescript and it kinda shows.

This was a 3 for $33. 00 gamble. I’m glad I took the chance. I know next to nothing about wines. I know that some are whites, some are reds and others are somewhere in between. This wine has a very clearly defined pleasant crisp taste.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at the quality at this price point. Definitely a new favorite.

This cab has a deep flavor that reflects the Double-Black name. I thought that it seemed stronger than it said, which was very welcoming as it paired with the bold spiced fruit flavor. When swirled, it coated the glass nicely and stayed for a great while.

This added to the mouthfeel and helped the fruitiness to cover up the aforementioned perceived alcohol bite.

We were looking for some reds to sip outside and read with. I am so happy to have found this vintner. We had some Balcones brandy and didn’t want to keep drinking whiskey past dinner so looked into some reds.

We walked into our local store and having placed this in the cart with their Syrah, we were pleasantly surprised to see it at the wine tasting circle. We tasted this alongside a 70 Napa 1885 bottle and found it to be gorgeous.

Full bodied fruit forward with a deliciously satisfying finish. Definitely see the plum and almost dark chocolate covered cherry flavor notes. Will keep this on my favorites list.

Radius Merlot has been a favorite wine for 10 years. I recently purchased 3 bottles of the 2020 vintage. On opening I did not sense an inviting aroma as without previous vintages over the past 10 years.

This bottle was disgusting. A relative tasted and said it was “dirty. ” That’s a good description. I returned all three bottles and will be interested in other reviews of the 2020 Radius Merlot.

Great nose. Light to medium bodied. Not a bold Cab. Nice fruit forward. Slight spice from oak. Very smooth finish. No need to decant. Tasted great! Paired well with a tomato based Italian soup (i. e.

, Pasta e Fagioli). An enjoyable bottle of wine! I definitely recommend.

One of the best value Cabs you can get on the market bar none. The taste is full bodied in a way that it hits your tongue with the texture of juice. This has always been my go-to and I will say that way.

Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi makes an excellent White Zinfandel too. I highly recommend both of these.

Smooth, watery, tiny bit of sweetness, no alcohol burn, way too tart. Poured down the drain after a few glasses. It was only $10. The Carlo Rossi Sangria is much better and interesting but always seems to be out of sold out.

I enjoy bottled wine a few times a week. Have for many years. I had never tried Rossi Paisano until last week when my Italian neighbor suggested I try a local restaurant owned by real Italians. They make authentic Italian dishes from scratch, everyday.

The food? Out of this world!! The wine they suggested? Yep, you guessed it. Rossi Paisano. WOW. I was very pleasantly surprised! So now this is what we drink whenever we want a smooth, mellow, “chianti” kind of red wine.

We highly recommend it to all our friends and family. Many of them incredibly surprised as well.

Bought this wine after seeing so many positive reviews. But as a result I got a very mediocre product. The wine which was literally sweet. That sweetness killed each and every nuance of taste. Total dissappointment.

If you’re looking for a proper merlot in this price category, J. LOHR is your choice, excellent value for money in this case.

My father always told me that if you can find a wine that you like that isn’t expensive, then stick with it and I was really impressed with Radius Merlot. No burn nor harsh tones; just a smooth and light merlot that finishes really well.

It is not as robust as I typically like, especially with a filet mignon, but honestly, for right around $10 this is absolutely going to be on our regular shopping list.

This wine is a good exampler of a “house red” in a good Italian restaurant. It is medium bodied, has lots of fruit, and is just a little sweeter than a truly dry red. It is a good “sipping” wine and works well with Italian pasta and meat dishes with tomato sauce (i.

e. lasagne, Veal Parmesan). Not a great red like a fine Rhone or Barolo, but really dood for what it is.

We had a lovely bottle of Coppola Rosso Bianca Shiraz 2017 last night really enjoyed it! It was a well rounded red with a fruit forward flavor that was not too dry or tannin heavy. It had a nice end flavor as well.

I will definitely repurchase this recommend it to those who don’t want a dry or oak heavy tasting wine.

This is a house red at a favorite restaurant of mine. It’s a great everyday sipping red. The smooth finish makes it great for serving to friends that are new to drinking red wine, yet it’s rich enough for red wine lovers too.

Light bouquet yet medium to full-bodied. Cherries, plum, and vanilla. Low acidity and smooth.

I am very unhappy that Wine and More, Bashas and Safeway don’t stock it here in the Phoenix area! When asked, the response I get is “OH IT’S DISCONTINED” We need something done about this! That’s a crap [email protected]

Very surprising wine! I thought with the whiskey barrel aging it would be overly spicey and have a bourbon aftertaste. Instead it is really really good. Tastes like wine should. Very fruity, nice grape flavor that dissipates immediately.

Dry but not tart. Really clean, little to no aftertaste. Love it! Gonna buy more soon.

We had this at a recent wine dinner. I wasn’t excited, because I’ve had their Cabernet, and wasn’t impressed. But this was delicious! Everyone at our table was “oohing” and “ahing” over it. Even my wife, who can’t stand a good Cabernet, really liked it.

(They were serving the 2020 vintage. Don’t know how much difference that makes. ).

Although expensive I decided to try this wine about a year ago. I prefer sweeter California wines rather than bitter vinegary reds from France etc. OMG this is the best red I have ever tasted. It’s rich without having an earthy texture or taste.

Lovely deep fruity aroma and taste without being heavy. I can happily sip on a glass of this while cooking dinner. and then have another with dinner! One to put on your Xmas list when people ask you what you want! Try it.

if you don’t like it send it to me! Haha!.

Medium body and med-high acidity. A bit cherry and pomegranate, tart plum bright start, then it kinda falls off a watery thin cliff with a faint fruitiness. Sweet, jammy. Mega purple? The nose is better than the taste.

Basically forgettable, but drinkable table red. Not worth the price probably. Not as good as Meomi.

One glass a day- daily Pinot enthusiast for many years and more to come. Wagner family Pinot- Belle gloss 2017 was a hit-no longer in distribution. Tuli-light, not a good Wagner. Belle gloss 2018 dairy man is elegant to be enjoyed with or without a meal.

Meomi-sold label just too much sugar VENNESTONE- enjoyable and affordable daily sipper. Berry cola, smooth mild pleasant fruit on the nose and tounge, soft tannins & serves like a 30$ Pinot. For 20$.

impressive. On my my rotation along with dairyman & Lloyd. Lloyd-not a Wagner Pinot but the king of Pinot. Sophisticated and will highly impress. Flowers pinto-more burgundy style dry light, bit tight tannins.

Best box wine you can get!!! tastes almost as good as homemade sangria! throw some fruit in a pitcher and pour it over the fruit… noone will ever know!
