Chateau Haut-Lariveau, Fronsac, 2015

Fronsac, the Right Bank's best-kept secret, comes alive in 2015—and this organic Merlot is entering its prime. Four and a half hectares of vines at Château Haut-Lariveau, careful wood aging, now opening into blackberry, cola spice, and that savory depth that separates serious wine from crowd-pleasing fruit juice.
