Our inaugural Imbibe 75 issue has launched, and today’s Drink of the Week— Château Gaby’s 2009
Canon-Fronsac Bordeaux—is a delicious example of why affordable Bordeaux made
this year’s list. With rich, dark fruit flavors, subtle oak tannins and hint of
minerality on the finish, this wine is made with mostly Merlot fruit (with
Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc rounding out the blend) grown on the
limestone- and clay-rich hillside of the tiny Canon-Fronsac sub-appellation on
Bordeaux’s Right Bank. It’s the perfect wine for hunkering down with on a cold
winter’s night and at a price that’ll have you reaching for a refill.
