All of these flavors are natural, not added. While white wines may taste like citrus or tropical fruits, or have mineral characteristics, red wine flavors generally include some fruits (from sweet-tart cranberries to underripe strawberries to jammy cherries), flowers, herbs, spices, and earthy qualities.

Red wines pack a different punch compared to whites because of skin contact during fermentation. The lack of residual sugar in a dry Pinot Noir serves to balance the ripe fruit flavors of this beautiful red wine. Different grape styles yield different flavors. (That means low acid is probably a better bet if you tend to prefer sweet red wines.) Red wines higher on the acidity scale taste crisp and tart, while low acid wines are rounder and smoother. In addition to acting as a preservative, acid in red wine lends a pop of freshness, structure, and balance. (Since these are removed early on in the white wine-making process, you don't often experience tannins in white varietals.) Tannins add structure and texture to a wine, and boost its "ageability." Certain red wine types have more tannins than others, and these tend to soften as a wine ages. Tannins are polyphenols that naturally come from the skins and seeds of the grapes. Also found in apple cider, apple juice, beer, and grape juice, this is the slightly astringent quality that can make your tongue feel a bit drier after taking a sip. Over time, red wines can appear more red-brown in color. Red wines are available on a spectrum from a light ruby hue to a deep, dark purple.
