($13, Vino del Sol):  Though focused on black fruit flavors, this clean and pure Cabernet Sauvignon avoids the trap of being a fruit bomb.  Weighing in at a modest 13.6 percent stated alcohol, it also shows restraint, allowing just a hint of sweet oak to come through.  A suave texture makes it perfect for current consumption.  Its bargain price will warm you whenever you fire up the grill.
