2018 Frank Family Zinfandel Napa Valley

Winemakers Notes: Fragrant earthiness lies beneath rich black cherry and plum flavors in this full-bodied, deep-colored wine. Mocha, cardamom and baked cherry enhance the wine's refreshing acidity and powerful tannins that find harmony on the lingering finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Tasting Panel - "Smooth, rich, and spicy; dense and ripe with deep, concentrated berry notes. Juicy, lush yet balanced, and long."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2018 Zinfandel is composed of 86% Zinfandel, 11% Petite Sirah, 2% Pinot Noir and 1% Sangiovese. Deep garnet-purple colored, it delivers compelling notes of stewed red and black plums, fruitcake and raspberry pie with touches of Chinese five spice and potpourri. Full-bodied, the palate has loads of decadently spicy red and black fruit layers, framed by chewy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering peppery note."
