Château Fontanès, Les Traverses de Fontanès Rouge, Pays d’Oc, France $16
Cabernet Sauvignon is a transplant to the sunny Languedoc. This biodynamic rendition from Pays d’Oc, is one of the rare Cabernets to provide a very elemental form of pleasure, not unlike the feeling of lifting a fistful of sumptuous-looking blackcurrants straight to your face. Alcohol: 13.5%
