"Thereâs a scant 190 cases of the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva and itâs up with the crème de la crème of this fabulous vintage. With a deep purple color and Pauillac-like notes of lead pencil, scorched earth, black currants, cassis, and tobacco leaf, this borderline perfect wine is full-bodied, opulent, and concentrated, with building structured and depth. This is a profound, layered, multi-dimensional Cabernet Sauvignon that will be better with short-term cellaring and keep for two decades or more. While the 2014s from this estate are beautiful across the board, the 2015s are a clear step up. Pulling from their 45-acre estate in Spring Mountain as well as sourcing fruit from Oakville and Yountville, Frias is making some of the most compelling wines in the valley. This is a bandwagon you donât want to miss."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
