We’re anxious for that ball to drop ushering in 2021. Who wouldn’t be? Although the world faced an (yes, I’m going to use that word) unprecedented health crisis, wineries hung in there despite COVID tasting room closings, wildfires, and travel restrictions that forced wine patrons to stay at home.
We were able to do our share of Zoom wine sessions and opened bottles with friends in a socially-distant setting. This year has been memorable for many reasons, some of them good – like these bottles on our list of top 2020 red wines.

Some of the wines are from historic producers and well-known vineyards. Others are lesser-known wines that captured our fancy. Pour yourself a glass and enjoy this list of our top 30 red wines of 2020.
