What a 90-point red looks like
Critics reward concentration, balance and typicity, so highly rated reds tend to be the fuller, more structured examples of their grape: Cabernet with real tannin, Malbec with depth, Pinot Noir with perfume and length. They usually repay a little air — decant for twenty to thirty minutes — and pair with the heartier end of the menu.
Where the highly rated reds come from
Critics score the most reds in the high 80s and low 90s from California Cabernet and Zinfandel, Washington Cabernet and Merlot, Argentine Malbec, Spanish Tempranillo and southern Italian blends — which is also where the value is. A 90-point red from any of those places at an everyday price is the sweet spot of this page.
Frequently asked questions
- Do 90-point reds need to age?
- Not at this price level. They are released ready to drink; a short decant is all most need.
