Founded in 1992, Frank Family Vineyards is owned by Rich and Connie Frank. The winery, located in Calistoga, is the third oldest winery in Napa. In 1884 the property was home to Larkmead Winery and from 1958-1992, home to Kornell Champagne Cellars. The original building is on the National Register of Historical Places. The winery was completely remodeled in 2007. The winemaker and general manager is Todd Graff. A UC Davis graduate, he has worked in Bordeaux, Germany, New Zealand and California, including Schramsberg Vineyards.
Frank Family Vineyards Blanc de Blancs is hand crafted in our cellars using the traditional M?thod Champenoise, where the secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle. This wine aged on the lees for three years, and was then hand riddled before disgorgement. The 2013 Blanc de Blancs is pale straw in color with a continuous thread of persistent bubbles. A beautiful bouquet marked by delicate aromas of floral lemon, brioche and green apples fuse with hints of toasted almond, wet stone and cr?me br?l?e. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with a rich structure and creaminess that brings balance and intensity to the flavors. The mid-palate is luscious and creamy with flavors of freshly-baked bread and tart ripe pear. The finish shows remarkable length with an excellent minerality as notes of effervescent citrus and fresh white fruit linger.
