Wine Description
Frank Family Chardonnay Carneros 2023 is a standout wine from the coveted Carneros appellation. This 100% Chardonnay wine leads with zesty aromas of lemon and guava, tempered by the rich scents of vanilla and caramel-covered apples. On the palate, layers of nutmeg and crème brûlée combine with hints of toasted oak, delivering a delicious complexity. The elegant waves of fresh acidity bring a bright finish, making this wine both lively and balanced. Its tropical fruit flavors, like baked apple, white nectarine, and Meyer lemon, expand with citrus notes and lemon curd.
The wine is composed of grapes sourced from Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard, along with fruit from nearby Beckstoffer and Sangiacomo Vineyards in Napa and Sonoma Carneros. The vineyard’s clay soils and cool climate produce thin-skinned, delicate grapes with low yields but concentrated flavors, perfect for a rich, pleasing Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes: This Frank Family Chardonnay Carneros has an unmistakable combination of tropical fruit, Meyer lemon, and hints of salted butterscotch. Its vibrant acidity adds a refreshing touch that complements the rich layers of flavor, finishing with a lingering sense of citrus and oak.
Crafted by Todd Graff, frank family napa winemaker, this wine underwent a long, cold fermentation and partial malolactic fermentation to soften its acidity. The wine aged for 9 months in French oak, 34% new, developing ample depth through regular bâtonnage (hand-stirring of the lees), adding texture and longevity to the wine.
With a 14.4% ABV, the Frank Family Carneros Chardonnay has all the makings of a fine Napa Chardonnay, delivering a blend of elegant fruit, oak, and a refreshing, bright finish.
