Frontera Cabernet/Merlot 187ml 4Pk

Those tiny bottles are my go-to for pan sauces now—just a splash of one while I’m deglazing and the chocolate and fruit notes come through nicely. It’s also handy that the 187ml size means I can have a glass without opening a whole big bottle.

The chocolate and fruit notes really come through for such a simple red—makes a great quick glass after work. I docked one star because the 187ml size disappears faster than you'd think, though it's perfect for a pasta sauce splash.

The single-serve bottles are perfect for when I just want a glass without opening a full bottle. It's a decent everyday red, smooth enough for sipping but also works fine in a pasta sauce. For the price, it's a solid value.
