Frank Family Blanc de Blancs Carneros 750 ML

The palate is an explosion of delicate flavors, nice and delightful mouthfeel. Quite delicate and smooth texture on the long finish.\n \n Producer Information\n Frank Family Vineyards in a winery located in the Calistoga subregion of northern Napa Valley. Like many Napa wineries, it is known for its wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Zinfandel. Alongside its historic stone building – listed as a Point of Historical Interest in the state of California and itself a former winery – Frank is also considered to have one of better tasting rooms in the valley. Frank Family makes its wines in a typical Napa style, with high levels of ripeness and liberal use of new French oak. Most fruit comes from the 120-hectare (300-acre) Winston Hill vineyard in Rutherford, where Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese are grown. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir come from the cooler Lewis Vineyard in Carneros, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Zinfandel is sourced from the S&J Vineyard in nearby Capay Valley. A fourth vineyard, the 87-acre (35-hectare) Benjamin Vineyard planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon, was purchased in 2012 as Wood’s Ranch and renamed after founder Rich Frank's youngest grandson. The historic building at the Frank Family Vineyards site on Larkmead Lane (opposite Larkmead Vineyards) was first constructed in 1884. It was the base of Kornell Champagne Cellars in the 1950s and was bought in 1992 by Rich Frank, the former President of Walt Disney Studios.
