Score 91/100 · Drink 2018-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The Merlot-based 2016 Front Man is very pretty and nuanced, with a good bit of savory aromatics to play off the dense, dark fruit. Cedar, sweet tobacco, grilled herbs and plum meld into the plush, sensual finish.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2019-2033, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Oct 2018

The 2016 Merlot Front Man is blended of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep purple-black in color, it gives understated scents of plum preserves, dried mulberries and black cherry compote plus underlying hints of wild sage and cloves. Full-bodied, concentrated and giving plenty of juicy black flavors on the palate, it has approachable, rounded tannins and good length.
