Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (2 reviews)Pour this and you get a big, dark, friendly red. Ripe blackberries and plums, a little vanilla, nothing sharp or scary about it. It's soft and round, the kind of bottle you open on a Tuesday without overthinking it. Grilling something tonight? This is your easy yes.
Deep garnet in the glass, almost inky. The nose pulls up cherries and blackberries first, then black plum, a whisper of cracked pepper and a soft toast-and-vanilla note from the oak. On the palate it's smooth and harmonious, fruit-forward rather than grippy, with just enough structure to feel like a proper red and a finish that hangs around a beat longer than you'd expect at this price. Dry, but the ripe fruit reads almost sweet.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Frontera is made by Concha y Toro, the giant Chilean winery behind Casillero del Diablo and one of the most recognised names in South American wine. The fruit comes from Chile's Central Valley, a long sun-drenched stretch with the Andes on one side and the Pacific on the other. Warm days ripen the Cabernet, cool mountain nights keep it fresh. That's the whole trick behind why a wine this affordable still tastes this generous.
