August 28 is National Red Wine Day, and in honor of that, we’ve asked sommeliers to share their favorite red wines that are inexpensive, but don’t taste like it. Sommelier David Harlow, who is a regional manager at NZ Wine Navigator, says in order for wine to taste more expensive, you should look for a bottle with many different flavors or notes. “A wine that has multiple balanced flavors or notes like fruit, floral, vegetal, earthy, mineral and acidity will always taste better, more expensive and special than a simple, one-note wine,” says Harlow. You can also find delicious wines that are also inexpensive if you seek out up and coming wine regions like some areas of Chile, Portugal and Sicily for deals, says Nia Gordon Ruth, a sommelier and wine blogger @TheMoreYourBordeaux: “The most important factors to the quality of wine are the way grapes are grown and the quality of the winemaking process.” Here are some to consider.
Great with pizza: Tinedo Tempranillo Ja! 2019, $9.99
“Sometimes reds at a lower price point will be tragically over-oaked to mask the lack of complexity. This Tempranillo from Castilla-La Mancha is not. It’s medium-bodied, fruit-forward and for the price it’s ridiculously quaffable. It makes an excellent pizza wine, and it’s certified organic,” says Emily Rutan, sommelier at Terroni in Los Angeles.

Great for when you’re grilling: Finca Torremilanos Montecastrillo Tinto 2019, $13.99
NYC-based sommelier Remington Giannico says: “From Spain’s arid vineyards that run along the Duero River, north of Madrid, the Penalba Lopez family crafts one of the best wines from organically farmed vineyards. Their cuvee Montecastrillo Tinto is 100% Tempranillo concentrated yet focused and elegant. There really couldn’t be a better wine for the grill.” Learn more: Finca Torremilanos Montecastrillo Tinto 2019, $13.99
A delicious organic red: Villarini Nero d’Avola 2019, $12.99
“Cabernet lovers will enjoy Nero D’Avola from Sicily,” says Ruth, which is made with organic grapes and aromas like cherry, blackberry and plum with notes of herb and sage. Learn more: Villarini Nero d’Avola 2019, $12.99
For a rich and complex flavor profile: Armas de Guerra Mencia 2018, $12
Founded in 1879, this is a historic winery in the Bierzo region of Spain. Los Angeles-based sommelier Taylor Grant says, “This wine is made from 50-year-old Mencia vines, which assist in the expressive aromatics and complexity of flavor — tart red fruits, violets and fresh herbs.” Learn more: Armas de Guerra Mencia 2018, $12
If you like Spanish wine: CVNE Crianza 2017, $13.99
This historic producer is able to maintain quality at scale. “Rioja’s often have a Bordeaux-like quality to them and that certainly helps them appear to punch about their weight price-wise since Bordeaux is the all-father of luxury wines,” says master sommelier Peter Yeung. Learn more: CVNE Crianza 2017, $13.99
If you like dark fruits, berries and pepper: Paul Mas Claude Val Rouge 2018, $9.99
“Another southern France location completely unsung and not well known yet is Pays d’Oc. Keep your eye out for wines by Paul Mas, a dashing winemaker and maverick that risks convention and wins in winemaking,” says Hunt. Learn more: Paul Mas Claude Val Rouge 2018, $9.99
To pair with lamb, pork and bolognese: Poggio Al Casone Casone Rosso 2013, $10.99
Amanda Greenbaum, sommelier, mixologist and author of Rad Cocktails says, “This is a killer super-Tuscan without the hefty price tag. It already has some age on it which makes it a little more mature. It’s great for a consumer who wants the bang without the extra bucks.” Learn more: Paul Mas Claude Val Rouge 2018, $9.99
