The wine section can be a little overwhelming, with hundreds of bottles, varietals, and labels tempting you to take them home. Our wine stewards are always happy to help you find the right wine for a casual gathering, a special occasion, or just something delicious to go with dinner. And be sure to check out these five very special reds that you’ll only find at Haggen.
Cabernet Sauvignon
The classic profile of Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be full-bodied wines with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to the wine’s aging potential. Hoopes has produced an easy-to-drink bottle for any day of the week, well-structured and reminiscent of ripe berries.
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is the parent grape of both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Hello World! hails from sunny Spain, offering green, minty aromas, grippy tannins and weedy, dark fruit flavors. Holds up well to meaty meals and heavy pasta dishes.
Malbec
Known for its plump, dark fruit flavors and smoky finish, Malbec wine offers a great alternative to higher priced Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Parceleros offers blackberry, plum and black cherry notes with nuances of cocoa powder, leather, and a sweet tobacco finish. Rich and intense, great with rich tomato sauces and gravies.
Chianti
Chianti wine is any wine produced in Tuscany’s Chianti region. Bibbiano’s offering is savory, juicy and classic, a great table wine that will please most palates and pair with any meal. Well-balanced, medium-bodied and
lightly acidic.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the world’s most popular light-bodied red wine. It’s loved for its red fruit, flower, and spice aromas that are accentuated by a long, smooth finish. Oregon’s Stringtown is approachable and juicy, great for hors d’oeuvres before dinner, or an afternoon happy hour.
