2018 Frank Family
Carneros, Chardonnay
Rich Frank followed Michael Eisner from Paramount to become President of Disney Studios. He heard his calling in Napa after over a decade of successful achievements. Rich choose to retreat to Napa in 1990 securing 107 acres of hillside vineyards. Two years later he purchased the Old Hanns Kornell Champagne Cellars Winery and his success story began once again. Todd Graff has had a successful tenure at Frank Family since 2003, serving as winemaker and general manager.
This cool climate Carneros Chardonnay is barrel fermented and is immediately appealing. A well-rounded white with a delicate touch of hazelnut and sweet oak in the middle drizzled with marzipan cream. A richly textured Chardonnay that remains light on its feet allowing it to complement any patio or festive dining experience.
