The not-so-Arrogant Frog is a fun 55/45 mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, awash in savoury soft Languedoc fruit and representing terrific value. It's grown between the Mediterranean Sea and the Hérault Valley, from vines 20- 40 years old. The palate is packed full of black jammy fruit, chocolate, blackberries, and glossy vanilla (via 25 percent new French oak ageing). A modern red from the south of France made for summer backyard BBQ.
