Tesco Finest Stellenbosch Red 2014

I know I’ve mentioned this one on the blog before but now that it’s just £6.50 (ongoing, not even just as an offer) it really is one of the best value reds on their shelves at the moment. Made by a really smart South African producer, it’s a blend of four grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) and manages to balance lots of fruit flavours with just-right spice. Smooth, rich and comforting as a Toast blanket. Needs food (goujons not advised).
