Full-bodied and intense, Trivento's Golden Reserve 2012 cabernet comes with an instant "wow" factor but also the sort of complex layering you might expect from something more expensive. Cassis and syrupy-ripe blackcurrant fruit meet dark-roast coffee and smooth chocolate, set against savoury cedar, lively spice and mint. Pair it with steak or lamb chops; $20.99 in B.C. (on sale for $18.99 until Aug. 29), $19.99 in Manitoba.
