Connoisseurs' Guide, Connoisseur's Guide, February 2013

If never wanting for ripeness and long on heady, young, varietal fruit, this solid effort plays juicy apples and a streak of caramelly oak against plenty of freshening, mildly citrusy acidity. It is fairly full-bodied and starts out on a rounded, almost oily note, but it never gives in to softness, and, while a very attractive wine at the moment, it has a sense of reserve that bodes well for a few years of keeping.

About Winery

Located in the historic Larkmead winery in Calistoga (the 3rd oldest winery in Napa), Frank Family Vineyards is co-owned by longtime Disney executive Rich Frank, who currently is the Chairman of talent management agency The Firm, and well-known Napa wine producer Koerner Rombauer. Their limited-production, fruit-forward, yet balanced wines have a loyal following that is due both to the popularity of Winemaker Todd Graff's "blockbuster" wines and the convivial tasting room. Rich and Koerner met in the late 1980s in Napa, and in 1992 had the opportunity to purchase Kornell Champagne Cellars at the Larkmead winery. What might be considered by some an unlikely partnership of Hollywood and farming, has proven to be an immensely successful joint venture, melding Koerner's winemaking vision and Rich's keen understanding of a memorable visitor experience, with a shared passion for wines of the highest quality.
