Frias Family Vineyard Cabernet 2003
The 2003 vintage of Frias Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine one should never pass up on. Perhaps that is why I bought out my distrubitor of their inventory! With fruit from the Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley, Frias Cab 2003 had only a 300 case production making it much more concentrated and full of flavor. It is unfiltered and bursting with dark rich fruit, vanilla bean, cassis, blackberry, and nice oak. Get it while it lasts--$79.99. Cheers!

Perfectly balanced with subtle flavors of dark chocolate, cinammon, and bright apricot and fig, this champagne will be sure to melt in your mouth. $49.99
