Thanks for the endorsement, Oliver.
Your description is quite accurate.
My go-to red is the Llano Signature Meritage (from Lubbock, TX of all places). That's usually around $9. And I am not sure if I'd call it three times as good as the Cul de Sac.
BTW, in a different price bracket, has anyone tried the Caymus Conundrum white ($17-20)? I think it's quite an extraordinary beverage and don't know anything quite like it.
