Firm in texture, with a grip of chewy tannins surrounding a sleek core of vivid currant and plum fruit, this lingers enticingly, showing intensity without weight. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2015 through 2020. 2,315 cases made. –HS - Wine Spectator Magazine 92 Points
(55% cabernet sauvignon, 19% cabernet franc, 18% merlot and 8% petit verdot; aged for 21 months in 65% new French oak): Bright, saturated red-ruby. Musky aromas of black cherry, cocoa and rose petal, plus a touch of bitter chocolate. Sappy and light on its feet, showing a restrained sweetness to its youthful berry, spice and floral flavors. Finishes with a broad, fine dusting of tannins and good length. Clearly a wine from a cooler year--and not at all heavy for its 14.7% alcohol. Remained quite fresh in the recorked bottle for 48 hours. - Stephen Tanzer 90+ Points
The Frederick Red is a Bordeaux-style blend—55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot. It doesn’t show its strengths immediately, but, instead, is rather sharp, with chalky acidity. Give it several hours of breathing time and it fills out, with sweet cherry tobacco flavors, and hints of fresh-picked mushrooms. - P.G. - Wine Enthusiast Magazine 89 Points
