Michel Rolland
Château Fontenil 2009
$45.85
$57.31
The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a deep bluish purple color and relatively hefty alcohol at 14.5%, but it is not noticeable in this full-bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock. Both of these wines have a good 10-15 years of potential in a fine cellar. Score - 92. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Feb. 2012)
