Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Fronsac
We tried this wine when we visited Bill Blatch at Vintex, the negociant firm owned by the people who own Chateau de la Riviere. We were thrilled with the wine. It has a nice earthy style with bright red fruit flavors, some spice and coffee-like aromas, and firm structure with a long fruity finish.

"Another impressive Fronsac, Villars' 2010 possesses an extra level of concentration as well as a dense purple color, hints of graphite, spring flowers, blue and black fruits, good tannin, sweet fruit and a lingering finish. It should drink well for a decade or more."
