Frank Family Carneros Chardonnay 2018

Frank Family Carneros Chardonnay 2018

The Frank Family Vineyards first opened their doors in 1993, when former Disney Studios president Rich Frank bought the Larkmead Winery. The historic winery was constructed in 1884 and is the 3rd oldest winery in Napa Valley. Larkmead was famous for sparkling wines and it's said that Marilyn Monroe was a regular visitor. While they continue the tradition of producing sparkling wine using the French champenoise method, they are more focused on superb still wines today, employing the four estate vineyards in Rutherford, Napa-Carneros, and Napa's Capell Valley. Their Napa Valley wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel, but they also have plenty of Reserve wines. They use 100% French oak barrels and everything is done on-site. They are also committed to sustainability and the winery is Napa Green certified since 2015. The 2018 Carneros Chardonnay is crafted from 100% Chardonnay that was harvested between September 8 and September 26 in 2018. It's aged in French oak barrels, a third of which are new. It's full-bodied and creamy with a fresh acidity. Grab a bottle now!
