Best Red Wine Under $10

Best red wine for under $8

Fresh bright red fruit balanced by a fine structure and ample bouquet. 

I hesitate to share this scarcely known wine with too many people (don’t want the price to increase), but if you like red wine you will love this one.  Personally, I prefer Malbecs.   I was recently introduced to Borsao Granacha by my local Mariano’s Wine Connoisseur.   She was spot on.  If you like Malbecs, you’ve got to try this bottle!
