RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

Focused and fresh in feel, with some bouncy energy as well to the mix of damson plum, red currant and bing cherry compote flavors. Late floral flurry on the finish adds charm.

91James Suckling

Sweet-berry, bark and black-olive aromas follow through to a medium to full body with chewy tannins and a lightly austere finish. Some crushed-stone undertones.

90Jeb Dunnuck

...impressive red and black berry fruits, notes of smoked herbs and chocolate, medium-bodied richness, and a plush, soft, undeniably delicious texture.

88-90The Wine Advocate

...earthy scents of tilled soil, fungi and mossy bark over a core of warm red and black plums and blackberry compote. Full and softly textured, with mouth-coating blackberry preserves, it gives a fragrant earth-laced finish.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, Fronsac

Fronsac is a small appellation northwest of Saint-Émilion. Fronsac produces only red wines and has about 2,000 vineyard acres. Canon-Fronsac is a smaller appellation within Fronsac. Merlot is the primary grape in Fronsac, followed by Cabernet Franc Cabernet Sauvignon. Fronsac wines are generally full-bodied and plummy. In the 18th and 19th centuries Fronsac wines had the same prestige as the wines of St.-Émilion, though by the mid-20th century Fronsac wines were less renowned. Today, however, young and innovative older winemakers are reviving traditional estates. Some have gone the garagiste route by making non-historic blends.
