This medium-bodied 2007 vintage has a very dark and
dense ruby red colour with aromas of maraschino cherry, black pepper and
coffee bean that are followed by secondary scents of smoky cedar and spice.
At the core, we are pleasantly rewarded with smooth
espresso-like bittersweet consistency and well-integrated tannins which are
beautifully balanced on the long finish.
This fabulous Frontenac will be drinkable until 2014.

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."
