Hot, sunny, and arid growing regions like Walla Walla, Washington; Barossa Valley, Australia; Napa Valley, California; and Veneto, Italy are found in the 10R section. The wines are fermented and aged in new oak barrels for maximum impact. These are the heaviest bodied wines, with a thick and jammy mouthfeel resembling heavy cream. The wines are made from Syrah/Shiraz, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Corvina. While they don’t always need food, they do pair well with barbecue and umami flavors.
