2022 Fat Cat 420 Vin de France Red Blend

Lean back and picture twilight in the garrigue: warm Mediterranean air scented with wild thyme, a lazy cat stretching on a stone wall. That mood lives inside Fat Cat 420.
This 2022 Vin de France marries old-vine Carignan with splashes of Syrah and Grenache—fruit harvested at dawn to lock in vibrancy, then fermented gently in concrete to keep tannins silk-soft.
Juicy red-berry energy meets a savory whisper of dried herbs and cracked pepper. Slate-tinged minerality keeps the finish precise, while supple texture invites another pour.
An easygoing charmer with genuine southern soul, ready to turn any weeknight plate into something worth lingering over.

Nose: Lush strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry mingle with hints of lavender, bay leaf, and sun-warmed stone.

Palate: Bright cranberry and pomegranate glide across a medium body, framed by silky tannins and a dusting of black pepper.

Finish: Long, mouth-watering close where red fruit echoes fade into savory herbs and a flicker of mineral spice.

Pair it with rosemary-rubbed lamb chops—the wine’s peppery snap lifts the meat beautifully.
Try a rustic ratatouille topped with fresh basil; the blend’s herb accents resonate with the stewed vegetables.
For casual nights, pour alongside charred chorizo pizza—the vibrant acidity cuts through melted cheese while amplifying smoky spice.
