Vidal-Fleury Côtes-du-Rhône

In one sentence

A generous, spicy Rhône red, perfect when you want more body without going past the twenty-dollar mark.

It offers a lot of character for the price. Richer than a light weekday red, it still has enough balance to be easy to drink at the table. A good bottle to get a feel for the warm southern Rhône style without stepping up to a more expensive appellation.
