Well seeing as we seem to have the same pallets in other matters
Find the St. Francis Old Vine Zinfandel
It is my absolute favourite red that is a medium value (not too expensive) non vintage.
Although California grown (Sonoma Valley) it is done in the old world style of Zinfandels and is really really good. It tastes of ripe black cherries and has a nice toasty oak taste. It finishes long and smooth and is not strong on tanins. This has been my house wine for some time.
