Try DA CAPO Vino Rosso Vino Tavola from Italy. It has 9.5% alc. It is so smooth, has no slightly bitter aftertaste. I think you'll love it! ;-)

Could be you are drinking good wines, but drinking them too young. California Cabs are the classic example; just terrific wines which are usually drunk ten years too soon. Try one of the cabs you like everything about except the 'bite', and instead of drinking a 2003 or 4, spend the extra few bucks and buy one from the mid-90's. As the tannins age, they develop a complex 'mouth-feel' that is the hallmark of a great wine.
I drink merlots and some shiraz young (they're better after about six years), but good cabs should be at least ten years old. my opinion.

a reliable Italian red wine is Lambrusco. yet a lot of human beings look to get it at a loss for words with it being an inexpensive wine. the actuality is, there are diverse distinct sorts Lambrusco and many times the more effective money you spend on a bottle, the more effective acceptable high quality Lambrusco it truly is and does no longer leave a bitter after style. My popular sweet, red wine is Sangue di Guida, also Italian.

Go for a blend. Those are always better in tanic acids. Maybe it's the complexity but I really like Big House Red. It's nice and rich but it a fairly smooth red. Also, no corked wine. They are big on the campaign against corks though.

I drink South Australian reds - try Leasingham Rail Trail 2002 Shiraz Cab. Sauv. If you live in Australia you can order it from getwinesdirect.com.au for only $9.95 per bottle. It's very smooth, full bodied - love it. Cheers.

If you chase it down with some high quality red meat of the grill you'll find it less tannic.

Try a Valpolicella, made by several vintners. You can find it at Beverages and More or Cost Plus Markets and some more exclusive Grocery Stores

a lighter style (more mellow) red is made with pinot noir grapes. merlot is also of a lighter style but not as much as pinot. for the finest pinot noirs try red burgundies (french), they are 100% pinot noir or pinot noir wines made in Oregon state. for the best merlots in the world try french red bordeaux wines that are made in the pomerol or saint emilion regions (chateau petrus and chateau cheval blanc in particular). do not try the wines from the other bordeaux regions because the main grape used in these is cabernet which is not what you want.

A nice ozzie Shiraz, honestly it's name is "Fat Bastard" but it's really an awsome wine.
I can't stand the tannins either, they give me migrains. But that one was amazingly really nice.
Also if you have a "Trader Joe's" near you, they have some really great reds too. Just ask one of their sales staff. They're really helpful.

Depends on where you live, if you live close to a trader Joe's try fat cat. I hate red wine, I do however love Jekel Reisling.
