Frias Family Vineyard
SMD Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a beautiful one from Napa Valley.
Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, plums, blackberries, raisins, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, cola, aluminum, mediterranean spices and peppercorn.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, licorice, cedar, chocolates, light herbs, peppercorn and light black tea.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley. Elegant and smooth. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining.
Needed 90 minutes in the decanter to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already very approachable.
Delicious by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 23 months in French oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$95.
