Napa Valley – Spring Mountain District
Winemaker Notes
The 2021 SMD flows with black cherry, dried plum, fig, juicy black currant and cassis with pencil shavings, earth and spice before a hint of eucalyptus. With loganberry leading off, the palate also exhibits spice and mineral laden character with toast and herbed fruits and dried fruits with tobacco leaf and a note of balsamic on structured, jazzy and enlivening tannins.

About Frias Vineyards
In 1977, the Frias Family purchased 100 acres in the iconic Spring Mountain District of Napa Valley. We planted just 5 acres in 1985 and launched FRIAS Family Vineyard with our first vintage in 1987. FRIAS now has 13 acres of hillside vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. We source premium fruit from Oakville & Yountville AVAs. Second generation brothers Fernando and Manny Frias Jr. are at the helm of this artisanal family winery. Todd Heth has been the winemaker since 2004.
