Our Napa Valley collection sources grapes from our four vineyards, and some from our favorite neighbors, including Beckstoffer, Red Barn, Quarry, and Sangiacomo. Our Napa Valley Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir are all aged in French oak barrels, with one-third in new barrels, one-third in once-used barrels, and one-third in twice-used barrels, for balance.

“A refined and complete example of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon showing all the poise and freshness of the cool vintage. The palate is taut and austere, with a good core of fruit, fine tannins, a textured mouthfeel, and balanced acidity, leading to a savory, mouthwatering finish.”

What we’re looking for in a Cabernet is depth, structure, and balance and I think you’ll see that in this wine.
Our family’s winemaking journey began with Cabernet Sauvignon in 1990 when Rich Frank purchased an old Tudor style house that came with an original 10 acres of hillside vineyards dedicated to this special grape. Our passion for Cabernet Sauvignon has grown over the years, as too has our original estate vineyard, now comprising of 25 planted acres. Today, with three decades of crafting fine wines under out belt, Napa’s most beloved grape is still our first love. We highlight the beauty and complexity of our valley in this appellation-designated wine, a seamless blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with a splash of Petite Verdot and Merlot from our estate Benjamin and S&J Vineyards as well as acclaimed Napa Valley grape growers.
Napa Valley Cabernet-Braised Beef Short Ribs with Creamy Polenta
This dish is comfort food at its finest, fall-off-the-bone tender ribs meets Parmesan-laced creamy polenta. The short ribs get their rich flavor from braising on the bone with beef broth and Frank Family’s deeply nuanced Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This beautifully complex and classically styled wine is ideal for the pot and the table.
