Basically all red table wines are a healthy wine, the only variable you want to look out for would be the addition of Sulfites (sulfur dioxide) added to the wine. All wines (except for organic wines in the US contain sulfides) it is a by product of the yeast. But some vintners add additional sulfites, and this is usually indicated on the bottle. Although for most people, sulfites don't pose a health risk, but some it does (those prone to asthmatic episodes for instance). There is also a common belief that the sulfites cause headaches in some people, this has not been proven, has it only seems to happen with red wines. You will want to stay away from any sweetened red wines (dessert wines, ect.) as the increased sugar content. Best thing to do is go to your local liquor/wine store and ask someone there. Most reputable stores have a wine expert on site that can assist you. It will also depend on what you are serving for food to make it a good match.

'Red Heart' has high levels of anti-oxidants,and is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes.
'Red Heart' has an anti-oxidant level of 32 per cent, higher than other leading red wines. Anti-oxidants come from the skin and seeds of grapes and protect the body from free-radicals which are caused by exposure to UV rays, pollution and smoking, and can damage health in the long term.

Every red wine is heart healthy. I would guess that stronger flavors have more antioxidants, like Cabernet, and lighter wines like Pinot Noir have less antioxidants and therefore less health benefits.

The darker(more color) the better. But we are talking 1(and only one 6(six) oz. glass a day.) It keeps the blood thin. Less has no effect and more is detrimental.
