Frias Family Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2023, Spring Mountain District
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.
