"But the shining example of Frazier's commitment to real winemaking is the 2001 Frazier Memento Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a winemaking tour de force with gobs and gobs of woven fruit that saturates the glass and makes you want to beg for more. Sold exclusively at the winery, this 200-case production run is easily on par with Harlan Estates, Screaming Eagle, Staglin Family and clearly surpasses wines from Stag's Leap, Caymus and Joseph Phelps, the so desired cult reds from Napa".
From The Del Mar Times, Article by Andy Abramson

"Consistently spot-on Cabs and Merlot from 10-acre family estate vineyard are dense yet racy; more subtlety than Napa norm; results are generally surefire winners. An up-and-coming winery worth watching".
From Anthony Dias Blue's Pocket Guide to Wine 2006

2005 FRAZIER MERLOT

92 Points, The Wine Enthusiast, June 2008
"This is a serious Merlot, a welcome relief from the sea of mediocrity that masquerades under the variety. Grown in the winery's estate vineyard in the southerly Coombsville area, the wine shows similarities to Carneros Merlots. Dry, fairly tannic, with crisp acidity and an earthy grounding, it has supple, refined flavors of black cherries, currants, cocoa, violets and cedar".

2004 FRAZIER CABERNET

Gold Medal, Orange County Fair Wine Competition, June 2008

90 Points, Anthony Dias Blue, April 2008
"Lovely ripe plum and clean generous flavors; lovely with a long, seamless finish that provides complexity and charm".

3 Stars, Recommended, Decanter Magazine, January 2008
"Sweet, jammy, cherry and blackcurrant, smoky oak. Good concentration. Spicy with quite good length. 1-8 years".

2004 FRAZIER MERLOT

90 Points, Wine & Spirits Magazine, June 2007

2003 FRAZIER CABERNET

Highly Recommended, Pointless Wines, 4/2007

94 Points, Taster's Choice Selection, The Wine News, July '06
"Intense ruby-purple hue. Complex, though somewhat reserved aromas of blueberry, mixed berries, minerals, bittersweet chocolate and iron. Concentrated, inky flavors of blackberry, mocha, minerals and dried tobacco are dense yet lithe. Creamy finish shows lively citrus notes."

90 Points, The Wine Enthusiast, September 2006
"It's been several years since I last tasted a Frazier Cab, but this '03 brought back memories of the excellent '99. It's not quite as rich, but is classically structured. From a cooler part of the valley, it blends dried herbs in with the black currants".

2001 FRAZIER CABERNET

93 Points, Anthony Dias Blue, February 2005
"Rich and dense with lovely flesh and ripe plum and berry fruit; lush oak, spice and a long, juicy finish."

92 Points, The Wine News, August 2004
"Black-garnet hue. Powerful aromas of wild cherry, rhubarb, tobacco, peppermint and a citrus note. Forward flavors of tangy raspberry, cherry, pencil lead, tea and minerals have a milky mouth-feel and vibrant acidity. Spicy finish shows coffee bean."

89 Points, Robert Parker, February 2005
"A chocolate, espresso and black-current scented bouquet is followed by a supple textured, lush, heady Cabernet displaying abundant fruit, medium to full-body, and no hard edges. With plenty of glycerin, fruit, and texture,this hedonistic 2001 will have wide appeal. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years."
