About Us
In 1977, Our 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.

Our Wines
The 2021 Lady of the Dead offers berries and spices in spades, with boysenberry, raspberry, and cranberry over allspice, cinnamon, and toasted oak. Already very open and easy to get to know, this wine has a juicy softness to it while packing a punch of concentrated fruit fullness.
It builds layers of character in the glass, revealing more nuance, while never losing its focus on the fun of ripe dark fruit.
Our Wines
Intense sweet dark fruits with brooding aromas of blueberries, cocoa, leather and fine antique wooden furniture, and then hints of lifted maple in the foreground are later complemented by black olive.
The wine hits the palate with sweet fruits of raspberry turning to blackberry and the structure unfolds with a building finish that portends a long future of graceful aging.
Our Wines
Pretty floral aromas of peony fill the nose, with additional hints of watermelon. On the palate, lively and forward strawberry fruit roll up meld with tangy acid freshness that linger and give a lip smacking tastiness to this bright wine.
The juice fermented slowly at low temperatures to retain all of the fresh fruit and aromatics that come from the grapes to produce our delicate, fruity and enjoyable Rosé. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation and retains the crispness and fresh acidity important to Rosé.
Our Wines
Dense black fruits of currant, blackberry compote and hints of toast lead the 2021 RESERVA as it unfolds with sandalwood, vanilla and floral notes and subtle forest floor character with exotic spices and curry.
Silky and sweet fruited with dark chocolate character, the palate in this intensely focused wine has layers of mouth-coating flavors that continue to unfold over time.
Our Wines
The SMD gives up dark, toasty cherry and plum notes followed by mocha, cedar, creosote, saddle leather, a whiff of chocolate cake, and forest floor with some graphite. The bright, juicy blackberries on the palate burst forward with chunky tannins that turn silky, giving structure to a long fruited wine of purity.
All of the wines spent 19 months in French oak barrels and were bottled unfiltered. The wines show the best of their vibrancy in the first decade, while being able to age longer, and in the short-term benefit from being decanted to allow them to open up fully.
