2023 Winston Hill Sangiovese Harvest

Sangiovese is hard to come by in Napa Valley and Frank Family Vineyards is honored to grow several acres of this classic Italian grape variety on Winston Hill. Our Sangiovese is perched on the highest point of the vineyard and receives plenty of sun during the day. At night, this special block is caressed by cool hillside breezes that allow our fruit to develop flavor complexity while retaining its natural acidity levels. Referred by Winemaker Todd Graff as our “indicator block”, our Sangiovese is always the first vineyard block to ripen on Winston Hill, signaling that the harvest of our Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petite Verdot are not far behind.
