Frank Family Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

$54.99

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 2017 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. 90 Points Robert Parker: "Blended of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color with scents of herbs, crushed red and black currants, plum preserves, underbrush and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is crunchy, lively, firm and chewy with an herbal lift to the finish."

The 17’ is quite approachable already. Lightly extracted and candied dark and blue fruits with lots of herbal notes. On the palate it’s dense yet soft. Round acidity and silky mellow tannins.

Smooth and flavorful. Very Caymus-ess. Best value for a California Cab bar-none.

Merry Christmas. Tannins. Mild. (Not sure why cherry and licorice keep coming to mind)
