Lidl, Châteauneuf du Pape Les Paroisses, Rhône, France, 2018

Châteauneuf never comes cheap, but this is certainly at the cheaper end of the spectrum. It's a great wine style for the winter months, robust and warming, with Grenache taking the lead in the blend of red grapes. This one has good weight and concentration for the price, with spicy, clean red plum fruit and enough tannic structure to match well with meat dishes.
