This is the sort of remarkable bargain we wine critics tend to overlook in our enthusiasm to cover the recherché small producers. Close your eyes and don't let the screw cap or familiar label distract you from enjoying this satisfying red. Alternatively, serve it from a decanter if moneybags friends are coming over. Medium-bodied, cherry-like and surprisingly earthy and herbal, it's balanced, supple and juicy, a fine partner for grilled sausages or pizza. $10.99 in B.C. and $9.23 in Man., while the one-litre bottle sells for $10.05 in Que.
