Moser XV Cabernet Sauvignon, Changyu, Ningxia, China. 14% abv.
A wine resulting from a collaberation between 15th Generation Austrian Winemaker, Lenz Moser, and the renowned Chateau Changyu winery in Ningxia, China, using 12-18 year old vines situated on the fringes of the Gobi Dessert some 1,100m above sea level, this is a veritable gladiator among wines of this varietal.
Deep, rich and intense this complex and multi-layered wine retains a certain elegance whilst imparting flavours of blackberries, leather and chocolate with just a hint of spice on the finish. A punchy and expressive red which is well worth the modest price tag.
Available in Tesco for the offer price of £7 (down from the normal price of £8.50)
Always drink responsibly ;-)

The Porta 6 is a very easy going, gentle red - nice with cheese and nibbles - or just on its own as you watch the sun go down.
The Hey Malbec is (despite the wacky label) a much more serious wine - loads of complex flavours and a good long finish - excellent with a Roast or even something spicy & ethnic.
Hic Burp Pardon (but always responsibly)

We'll have to disagree on that one, 237. The very best wine I've ever had was a Dancing Bull Zinfandel which I first tried in a pub in Droitwich, whilst waiting for the RAC to come after bursting a tyre on the M5, mercifully only yards from J5. I later managed to source the same wine in what was Oddbins. That was just moments after the news broke that Michael Jackson had died.
Anyhoo, as I said, it was Californian and the very best wine I've ever had.

Two from Ocado, NoM - one cheap and gluggable, the other a great big wine :

I agree about California Zins - one of the best wines I ever drank was a 'cleanskin' (unlabelled) Zin from a major vineyard - sold at a price I could afford by Avery's, who'd bought the whole batch on the undesrtanding that they wouldn't reveal its birthplace - pretty sure it was from Stag's Leap though.
This is pretty flash too :
