Description
Fronsac, one of Bordeaux's satellite appellations, is found on the north bank of the Dordogne River, and its wines are crafted primarily from Merlot. Though Fronsac and the other satellite regions do not own the provenance and majesty of Bordeaux's greatest wine-growing areas, they do share some of their traits and so can be a wonderful introduction to Bordeaux. Expect to enjoy a wine with complex ripe dark fruit, earth and spice tones with the structure to age another 3-5 years.

Tasting Notes
Fronsac is one of what are referred to as Satellite Appellations of Bordeaux: regions that abut and share some of the attributes of the great wine-growing areas of Bordeaux. Situated on the Right Bank, the wines of Fronsac are predominantly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This example suggests the area's typical ripeness with plenty of dark fruit, cassis, oak and spice. Approachable, rich and long, it's a tremendous value and over-delivers at this price point.
