It is likely that Carcassonne will always be best known for its giant, perfectly preserved medieval castle that dominates the passage from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and serves as a touchstone for Languedoc’s Cathar history. That works for us, because if word got out about the wine made here, we wouldn’t be able to find values like this brilliant blend of organically farmed Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache from La Tannerie. It turns out that grapes made famous by Bordeaux do just fine with a little more sunshine. This is a sturdy, earthy, rustic red with a straightforward goal: to make your next hearty lentil stew sing. La Tannerie’s nose begins with earth, freshly tilled and clay streaked. There are notes of tomato leaf, of blackcurrant and prune, and dried black cherries too. On the palate, this wine offers a sturdy foundation of velvety tannins, a deep well of dried black fruit accented with a touch of tamarind, and a drop of orange oil. Resonant earthy notes weave in and out of a bowl of dried fruits on the finish. We recommend this wine for every occasion you need a reliable, tasty red without much fuss. Burgers, stews, and Blazer’s games.
