Cabernet Sauvignon offers character, complexity, and longevity, while Merlot adds softer tannins and elegance. The wine is fruity with aromas of chocolate, black plums and vanilla. A medium body gives way to black cherry flavors, soft tannins and a pleasing finish. Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot is excellent with hearty dishes, especially red meats, rich pastas, and firm cheeses.
