Château Montaiguillon, Bordeaux, 2015

This deep red is like a bachelor uncle at Christmas — staunchly traditional, but a friend to all. (Especially after he’s tucked into a glass or two of rouge.) The label is also exceptionally smart, so your friends will think you're doing far better than you actually are. Plus, it’s lovely in the glass: plenty of juicy dark fruits and ripe tannins.
