Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2004
"More great fruity value from Chile. Youth is an advantage at this end of the market. Concha y Toro have some of Chile’s finest winemakers."
Jancis Robinson - Financial Times - January, 2005
"Tasters liked how this red from Concha y Toro (mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with 15 percent Merlot), with its cherry finish, held up to the spices on the bird... A great bargain." Very Good
Bill Daley - Chicago Tribune - November, 2006
Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2002
"Concha y Toro, founded in 1883 has deftly used Chile's perfectly-balanced soils, ocean breezes and irrigation from the Andes to become the country's largest wine exporter. This is a smooth, medium-bodied red wine, with notes of blackcurrant and spices. Think barbecued meat, pasta and cheeses."
Nick Lees - Edmonton Journal - September, 2003
Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2001
"Excellent value; very approachable and fruit forward. Medium bodied, ready-to-drink ripe berry taste and bouquet. Smooth, with a dash of spice, herb and fruit in the finish." ****

Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2000
"...this offering gets back to basics: reliable, tasty wine at an everyday price... There's a ton of great fruit character here, with tastes of black cherries, dark plums, a little cassis for good measure, bound with soft, ripe tannin. Hard to beat this wine for the price."
Dan Kislenko - The Hamilton Spectator (Ontario) - April, 2002
"Aromas of tobacco and green pepper, this is an herbaceous wine balanced with flavors of raspberry and licorice."
Michael Kwasi - Madison Magazine - July, 2001
""A Chilean Bordeaux-style blend that has some of the nuance and richness of Cabernet along with the suppleness and drinkability of Merlot - at a great price."
San Jose Mercury News - April, 2001
"...has the lovely concentrated nose of black currants like most Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon and the same concentrated flavour on the palate. If it had been just a little less pointed and intense, it would have had four stars. It's great in summer for what comes off the barbecue and it's just as good in winter for whatever is sizzling in the pan." ***+
Malcolm Anderson - Gazette (Quebec) - February, 2001

Phillip Silverstone - Observer Beverage Journal - January, 2001
