Sean’s Take
This is a truly remarkable wine that costs less than $20. If this bottle was coming out of California they would charge double. It has loads of fruit flavour but is somehow balanced and bold simultaneously. As table wines go, it is technically very dry (2g sugar per litre) but has a surprising level of implied sweetness. The acid and tannins are matched perfectly to the sweetness for that Goldilocks just right glass.
It’s a perfect blend of three Bordeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. You can learn more about them on our About Wine Grapes page.
In the early 2000’s a version of this wine launched my search for the best inexpensive wines. I purchased more bottles than I care to admit (and have done so again). I have not seen this wine in 15 years and have never forgotten about it.
If you live in Ontario, Canada this wine is a limited release and is going fast, as in run don’t walk, fast. Click the shop link below to find it near you.

Sean’s Take
This is a blend of two medium weight gapes. Gamay Noir can sometimes have an almost soapy aroma (doesn’t mean it’s bad) and this certainly delivered. The wine has a clear beginning, middle, and end. Up first is a nice fresh red plum flavour, followed by more red stone fruit and black cherry, it finishes with some mixed spices. The challenge for me is that these great flavours were not integrated and for all the interesting things happening it lacked depth.

Chuck’s Take
Medium-light body with a dry finish and medium tannins that hit the middle of your tongue (not so much on the gums).
Today I learned that Rioja style is to Spain what Bordeaux style is to France. Tempranillo being the main grape.
