More about the 2023 FRISSON TOUCHER VINEYARDS NAPA VALLEY PROPRIETARY RED. Frisson’s 2023 Toucher Vineyard Proprietary Red captures a more refined side of Napa Valley, one defined by balance, nuance, and drinkability rather than sheer force. Built on a Cabernet core and shaped by careful blending, it delivers immediate appeal while retaining the structure and detail serious Napa reds demand. The result feels both current and timeless, polished yet expressive. That refinement begins in Toucher Vineyard, a valley-floor site where gravelly loam soils provide natural concentration and control. Thoughtful vineyard design and modern trellising promote even ripening, allowing the fruit to build depth while preserving freshness. The vineyard’s inherent balance comes through clearly in the glass, grounding the wine’s elegance in its true origins. In the cellar, a patient, measured approach carries that balance forward. Twenty months of aging in French oak adds texture and cohesion without overshadowing the fruit, allowing each component to settle into harmony. Generous yet composed, the wine unfolds with ease, finishing with confidence and an effortless pull toward the next glass.
