Frontenac
Price: $18.00 (taxes included)  Order now.

The Frontenac grape has found a home in Quebec’s Lanaudiere Valley growing region where warmer summer climates and cool nights yield some of the most intensely flavoured high-quality grapes. This medium-bodied wine has a vibrant nose of sweet-sour cherry fruit, vanilla and spices with good balance and plush ripe tannins.

Winemaker's  Notes
A beautiful example of what our site has to offer. Impressive now and even more so with careful cellaring!

Reviews
"Nose: Quite restrained on the nose with just a hint of fruit and a touch of elegant woodiness. Palate:Very good sweet, jammy mostly cherry fruit with just a hint of pine and finishing with a touch of vanilla. Comments: An enjoyable, full flavoured red that tastes halfway between Bordeaux and California."
