Red Wine

Concha y Toro Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile: A bright, easy-drinking red with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and cassis, accented by gentle notes of spice and vanilla. It’s medium-bodied, dry, and smooth on the palate, with soft tannins, lively acidity, and 12% alcohol making it a friendly, versatile pour. Serve it just below room temperature to highlight its juicy fruit and supple texture. Fascinating fact: Frontera is one of the world’s best-selling wine brands, introducing millions of wine lovers to Chilean wine each year, while still being crafted from grapes grown in Concha y Toro’s renowned Central Valley vineyards. Best enjoyed young within 2–3 years for its vibrant, fruit-forward style. Food pairings: grilled burgers topped with cheddar, where the wine’s berry fruit and spice meet the smoky richness. Or enjoy it with pasta in a tomato-basil sauce, where its acidity keeps the flavors bright and balanced.. Drink: 2025 - 2028 116426 12% D 750 mL $9.55 Score: 89/100. September 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
