Tasting - Les Traverses de Fontanes Cabernet Sauvignon


Name: Les Traverses de Fontanes Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: France
Year: 2009
Price: $20-->$9.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Being rebellious seems to come naturally to a man of such innate talent, and the elegance of his wines are proof enough in a region where bigger is often considered better.  Make no mistake, raw terroir and spicy garrigue abound in these wines, with rich, juicy fruit and silky tannins.

My Review: This wine had a strong spice smell.  The spice came out very strong in the scent, but did not come out in the taste.  There was a taste of fruit, maybe black cherry.  There was also a strong afterburn from the alcohol.  I did not like this wine.
