Product Description

Frank Family Vineyards is a Napa Valley winery known for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Founded in 1992 by Rich Frank, a former president of Walt Disney Studios, the winery is located in the heart of Napa Valley in Calistoga, California.

The Frank Family Vineyards property has a long history in the Napa Valley. The land was first settled by Samuel Brannan, a California pioneer and entrepreneur, in the 1850s. In the 1880s, it was purchased by the Chappellet family, who planted the first vineyards on the property. The Frank Family Vineyards winery and tasting room are located in the historic Larkmead Winery, which was built in the late 1800s and has been fully renovated and modernized.

Frank Family Vineyards has several estate vineyards in the Napa Valley, including the Larkmead Vineyard, the Lewis Vineyard, and the Ramsay Vineyard. These vineyards are known for their rocky, well-draining soils and sunny, warm climate, which are ideal for growing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes. In addition to these estate vineyards, the winery sources grapes from other premier vineyards in the Napa Valley and Sonoma County.

In the winery, the grapes are carefully sorted and fermented in small batches using traditional winemaking techniques. The wines are aged in French oak barrels for extended periods of time to add depth and complexity.

Frank Family Vineyards is known for producing critically acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines. The winery’s signature Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and complex, with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. The Chardonnay is rich and creamy, with flavors of apple, pear, and citrus. In addition to these two varietals, the winery also produces a range of red and white wines, including Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, and Sauvignon Blanc.

In addition to the winery and tasting room in Calistoga, Frank Family Vineyards has a second tasting room in the historic Napa Valley town of Yountville. The winery also offers a variety of tasting experiences, including guided winery tours, barrel tastings, and food and wine pairings.

Overall, Frank Family Vineyards is a respected and beloved winery in the Napa Valley, known for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay and offering a range of tasting experiences for visitors.
