Joey Tensley’s Fundamental Cabernet is THE benchmark Cab for the under-$20 category—and a wine that’s inspired a legion of fans among Wine Access drinkers. “Perhaps the best QPR ratio on any bottle of wine I have ever purchased,” wrote one Wine Access member in their five-star review. “I challenge anyone to find a bottle of wine at [this price] that can stand up to this one. It drinks like a $50 Napa cab.”
Pours a pure and deep ruby-purple color. The aromas open with cassis and blackberry, underpinned by notes of pepper, allspice, and vanilla. Primary and forward, it presents as a medium-full-bodied expression of Cabernet with supple tannins. Black-fruit flavors are rounded out with hints of mocha and toast. Muscular, but not too heavy—the perfect Cabernet for everyday drinking. Drink now–2028.
