2020 Frias Lady Of The Dead Red Blend
Tasting Notes
The 2020 LADY OF THE DEAD 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: 64%CABERNET, 28%SYRAH, 7% TEMPRANILLO, 1% GRACIANO
