Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

A juicy, plummy red with supple, mouth-watering layers of dark fruit flavour. This wine is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet france and merlot. Food matches: smoked pork tenderloin with cranberry compote.

Peter Wilkins reviewed this wine as follows: Xmas 2011 Dave

A vibrant ruby red colour with hints of cherry, blackberry and vanilla on the nose. Amazingly ready to drink. You'll savour ripe currant and blackberry flavours with medium tannins.
