Behind the Cork™ - Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon

June 9, 2021

Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon ($6.99)

The Frontera variatal brand from Concha Y Toro has a newly designed label featuring the iconic Andes Mountain range for their well-known wine.

This non-vintage (NV) Cabernet Sauvignon is from Chile’s Central Valley. It’s produced from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah. The grapes are 40% hand-picked at harvest and undergo two months of aging in stainless steel and epoxy concrete containers.

This Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon is medium purple in color with an aroma that includes dark fruits, herbs and a bit of floral notes. On the palate it is medium bodied with fresh fruit flavors, light tannin and a pronounced finish.

This is an extremely affordable wine that you should be able to find in any grocery store or wine market. It goes well with red meats, cheese, and spicy dishes. It’s an obvious choice for summer barbecues.
