Savvy wine buys: Fess Parker Frontier Red ‘00

Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2002 | 8:19 a.m.

Fess Parker, better known as TV's Davy Crockett, has made a name for himself in Santa Barbara County as one of its leading citizens, hoteliers and winemakers.

His winery is best known for Syrah and Pinot Noir, but this blend of seven grapes, a rustic red table wine, is delicious in its own right. It is 34 percent Syrah, 30 percent Cabernet Franc, plus Grenache, Cinsault, Merlot and Zinfandel, all barrel aged in 100 percent oak for 15 months.

Available at Wild Oats Markets, $10.99.
