We recently had what I think is the best “cheap” wine. Widely available. It’s a red blend of two grapes, 90% Carignane and 10% Syrah. $11 at my local wine shop. Old world balance with enough complexity to keep it interesting.
Mint, plum and licorice notes. Medium to light bodied.
Les Heretiques, from the Languedoc region in France.
Hmm, interesting. Never seen that label before. Will have to look for it.
My best "cheap wine" find recently is J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon. What an amazing value at only $13/bottle. It's by far the best California cab I've ever had for under $20. Available pretty much everywhere. It has become my go-to for taking to dinner parties and as an "everyday" table wine. Highly recommended.
