Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2011

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific. There is plenty of varietal character and sheer personality in this beautifully delineated Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark red fruit grilled herbs tobacco and spices flow through...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2012

This is a big rich Cabernet loaded with gobs of lip-smacking blackberry cherry currant and oak flavors. Couldn't be riper and the tannins are soft and smooth. A little obvious in its charms but a real crowd pleaser.- S.H.

Rich Frank founded Frank Family Vineyards in 1992 with business partner Koerner Rombauer of Rombauer Winery. The winery project was originally named Frank-Rombauer but changed to Frank Family to avoid confusion with the already established winery. Frank established a relationship with Koerner Rombauer after tasting a Rombauer Chardonnay at Tra Vigne restaurant. Koerner sold all of his shares by 2007 and is no longer involved with Frank Family.

The winery is located in the historic Larkmead Vineyard’s original stone winery founded in 1884. It's the third-oldest winery built in Napa Valley and is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Todd Graft is the winemaker.

Rich Frank is the former President of Disney Studios and former President of the Paramount Television Group who oversaw the success of Cheers, Entertainment Tonight, Golden Girls, Ellen, Dead Poet’s Society, Pretty Woman, Aladdin, and The Lion King.
