Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Spice, fruit forward, a crowd plesing North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon. At 14.5% it's big and bold, and full of flavour. Terrific BBQ wine. 90+ points. Tasted March 2015. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a dark and inky North Coast California Cabernet Sauvignon with an Ode to French style. Definitely dark fruit driven and reminds me of Bumbleberry pie. Vanilla, cedar, baking spices are added into the mix and long warming alcohol on the finish. A bold wine with persistent tannins and medium acidity. Decant 2 hours or send it to the dog house for a few years. Pair with grilled red meats.
Tasted: April 2015
Produced by Boisset Collection, this wine is named in honour of the French bulldog that Jean-Charles Boisset and his wife, Gina Gallo own. Naturally, the Frenchie Winery is dog-friendly offers kennel dog-sitting while owners are visiting the winery. - Community Wine Reviews
