About the Wine

Blend: 56.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.4% Malbec, 9.6% Cabernet Franc, 14.4% Merlot, 4.7% Petit Verdot

Crafted from Bordeaux’s noble varietals, the 2019 De Toren Fusion V delivers deep layers of dark berries, licorice, black cherry, and a hint of cedar. Smooth as silk and beautifully balanced, it finishes with a touch of lingering fruit. A cellar-worthy wine that shines today and evolves with age.

Critical Reviews

~ 95 Tim Atkin, Master of Wine.

This robust red marries an old-school profile of ripe currant, cured tobacco, and toasty smoke flavors with modern flair, offering firm tannins that are deftly knit, plus flashes of melted licorice, candied violet, iron and milled white pepper. Long and supple on the fragrant, herb-laced finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2033. 654 cases imported. ~ 93 Wine Spectator

Sporting a new label, the 2019 Fusion V is bold and expressive with a rich and round mouthfeel. Medium to full-bodied, the tannic structure has a refined, gripping sensation that will remain food-friendly. It ends with a long, spicy finish and elements of bitter dark chocolate. Give it one more year in the bottle, and enjoy it over the next 12 to 13 years. ~ 91 Robert's Parker, Wine Advocate

This wine needs a few minutes to open up. Once it does, earthy berries, hints of plums, and light chocolate notes are revealed on the nose. Black fruit and hints of olive mingle on the smooth palate. There are notes of dark chocolate and mint in the finish. Supple tannins and moderate acidity are enough to provide a good structure. ~ 91 Wine Enthusiast
