WINEMAKER NOTES
Indulge your senses in the allure of Frank Family's 2021 Cabernet, a symphony of flavors meticulously crafted to captivate even the most discerning palate. Immerse yourself in the world of this beautifully complex and classically styled wine, where each sip is a journey through a tapestry of aromas and tastes.
The tasting experience begins with a captivating perfume of sweet blackberries, violets, and vanilla, setting the stage for the rich tapestry of flavors that follow. As the velvety liquid caresses your palate, notes of espresso, nutmeg, and cedar unfold, creating a harmonious dance of complexity. Silky tannins and a refreshing acidity provide the perfect foundation, supporting the intricate flavors and contributing to the wine's overall elegance.
Behind this masterpiece is the expertise of Frank Family's winemakers, who skillfully highlight the beauty and complexity of their valley in every bottle. This appellation-designated wine is a seamless blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a splash of Petite Verdot for added color and structure, and Merlot to introduce a touch of softness and suppleness. The result is a wine that transcends expectations, delivering a symphony of flavors that linger on the palate long after the last sip.
The sourcing of this exceptional Cabernet is a testament to Frank Family's commitment to quality. Primarily sourced from their estate S&J Vineyard in Napa's Capell Valley and Benjamin Vineyard in the heart of Rutherford, the grapes are complemented by the contributions from neighboring Quarry Vineyard, Round Pond Estate, Delouise, and Shooting Star Vineyard in Napa Valley. The diverse origins of the grapes add layers of complexity, ensuring a truly unique and memorable experience with each bottle.
The aging process further refines the wine's character, spending an indulgent 20 months in a combination of 33% new and 67% once- and twice-filled French oak barrels. This careful maturation enhances the wine's depth, allowing the flavors to harmonize and evolve into a masterpiece that embodies the essence of Frank Family's winemaking philosophy.
