The 20 Bees line of wines was unknown to me until I recently made a bee line for it myself at the local LCBO and bought a 2005 Baco (actually, I already had tried another 20 Bees wine: a Vidal icewine at Tom Noland's place recently). Bottled under screwcap and featuring an alluring black and yellow colour scheme, this is a simple but well made example of everyday Baco Noir table wine that's inexpensive but well-balanced and free of flaws.
Regular LCBO list item; $13.15. 12% alc./vol. Clear, medium-garnet colour; typically dark when viewed from the side or top of the glass (classic red-hybrid saturation). Gentle yet typical Baco nose of hickory and peppercorns atop leafy aromas and a bit of V. riparia wild funk. Properly tart and invigorating entry with crisp acidity but quite a mellow mid-palate with flavours that follow the nose. The finish is clean and tart, and well balanced. It's a light-bodied, dry, food-friendly Baco that will do well in all typical Baco situations: spare ribs, pizza, lasagna and the typical Italian-American fare that most of us grew up with.
