Product details
Frank Family Vineyards' 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the winery's dedication to crafting wines that reflect the richness of Napa Valley's terroir. Established in 1992 by Rich Frank, the winery is situated in Calistoga, California, and has garnered acclaim for its commitment to quality and tradition. The 2021 vintage is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, sourced from esteemed vineyards including the estate's S\&J Vineyard in Capell Valley and Benjamin Vineyard in Rutherford. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, this wine showcases the harmonious integration of fruit and oak.
On the nose, the wine offers inviting aromas of sweet blackberries, violets, and vanilla. The palate reveals layers of espresso, nutmeg, and cedar, supported by silky tannins and fresh acidity, culminating in a long, expressive finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled ribeye steak, braised short ribs, or roasted portobello mushrooms. Its robust structure also complements hard cheeses like aged cheddar or Gruyère, making it a versatile choice for various culinary experiences.
