Frias Family Vineyard Lady of the Dead Red Wine Napa Valley- 2021

Frias Family Vineyard “Lady of the Dead” Red Blend 2021 is a rich, expressive Napa Valley red that marries ripe fruit, spice, and structure with notable critical acclaim. Produced by Frias Family Vineyard, this proprietary blend leans heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon and showcases the depth and balance that California red blends are known for.

Aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry are layered with cracked pepper, baking spice, and subtle herbal elements. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit flavors supported by refined, polished tannins and balanced acidity. The texture is smooth and elegant, carrying through a long, satisfying finish that reflects Napa Valley richness.

Critically, the 2021 vintage has earned ~91 points from Jeb Dunnuck and The Wine Independent, who praise its ripe fruit, harmonious balance, and elegant structure — making it drinkable now but enjoyable with cellaring over the next 7-8 years.

Versatile and food-friendly, “Lady of the Dead” pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, barbecue, lamb chops, hearty pastas, and aged cheeses. A compelling Napa Valley red that combines approachable fruit with classic blending finesse.
