Frank Family Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Frank Family is one of the new blue-chip Cabernet producers in Napa Valley. Founded by Rich Frank and Koerner Rombauer, their small-production wines are emerging as some of the most sought after in the valley. Try the fantastic Frank Family Cabernet Sauvignon while it lasts! The 2012 Frank Family Vineyard’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exposes its depth immediately with its dense dark purple color. The aromas are bountiful, brimming with juicy brambleberries and ripe black cherries that are laced with notes of smoke and roasted espresso and followed by hints of tobacco, earth and cedar. The palate is opulent and intense, bursting with ripe blackberries and currants, with just a touch of sage. The rich fruit is balanced with complex tannins providing a plush, yet firm mouthfeel that is round and supple with lasting depth.

Fresh, bright fruit on the nose. About 1/3 new oak. Light, fine-grained tannins. Lengthy finish.

If anyone ever questions Napa Cab, this is one bottle to convert them. Loads of blackberry and tannin, even days after opening. Lush but structured.

One of the largest landowners in Napa here. Very Napa-centric, focused, dark fruited and mildly tannic. Outstanding and certainly a good vintage for this wine.

Just a big softy like grandpa w/ his cash around a grand kid, this sucker is the softer side of sears. It's good and all, but I like to slapped around still especially in a ripe year.

Spicy cherry pie on the nose. [What, that's not a thing? Whatever, that's what it smells like]. I actually like this wine a little bit more than some reviewers. It's not amazing, but I'm digging the spice characteristics. Medium bodied California Cab with a nice lingering finish

2012 vintage. Red fruit, violet and done spice. The finish was a bit short.

Not as much oak as I was expecting, but tons of juice-like fruit. I wonder if they micro-oxidize? This is a wine that lacks risk, but is a safe bet if you don't care about terroir.
