Community Tasting Note

  • swestpha Likes this wine: 95 points

    September 27, 2019 - I have had previous vintages of this wine and although they were well structured with refined tannins they were for the most part not memorable. The 2016 vintage is by far the best I have ever had from Fonroque. I served it at a large wine gathering that was attended by knowlegeable wine people and it got rave reviews.

    Well structured wine with blackberry/raspberry notes and a great mineral laced finish.
