Frias Family Vineyard ‘Lady of the Dead’ Red 2020

This wine features a dark fruit core of bramble berries, Morello cherry, candied fruits, vanilla, cedar, allspice and tilled earth along with notes of leather. The soft fruit entry comes with spiced dried fruits, a nice acid and tannin balance to support the medium weighted body and fruits that linger and gently gain weight. The bright plum-laced concentrated fruit finishes with an uptick of spices and toasted oak.

Blend: 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Syrah, with the remainder being Petite Sirah, Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Graciano.

Appellation: 73% Napa Valley, 27% Paso Robles. 

Aged for 21 months in small French and Hungarian oak barrels (16% new)
