Frias Family Vineyard
Reserva Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, licorice, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, cola and light metal notes.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, coffee, toast, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, peppercorn and herbs.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and expressive. Fruit forward and elegant. Spicy and entertaining. Complex and nicely balanced. Soft and smooth.
Already approachable, yet still very young, and needs more time in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food, like a big piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (54% new) French oak barrels for 21 months. A small production of less than 3,000 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$175.

Dark warm and emulsified berries with lots of cinnamon and other warm flavors. In much better shape that I'd have guessed for the vintage and storage.

Dark ruby red with purplish hue. Started off a little feminine with floral notes and then opened up with dark cocoa, cinnamon and dark berries. Plush and thick on the palate with tons of dark fruits and a little peppercorn. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Blue floral notes mixed in with black fruits. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2037.
Aged for 22 months in 60% new French oak. Only 279 cases produced.

Love the intensity and length! A man’s wine if you don’t mind the non-pc description. I guess you could say a strong women’s wine as well 😂

Just delicious--dark fruits, scorched earth, & smoke. Beautiful structure, evolved for 2hrs in the glass. Thanks, Fernando.
