Tasting Notes
Hailing from the coveted Carneros reign, this wine leads with zesty lemon and and guava aromas that are tempered by notes of vanilla and caramel covered apples. Delicious layers of nutmeg and crème brûlée seamlessly combine with hints of toasted oak and elegant waves of fresh acidity on the palate, leading to a bright finish.

“A big, bold wine with the toasty, concentrated, buttery quality of a classic California reserve. Barrel fermented in all-new French barrels, bringing out an almost peppery flavor on the full body. Poached pears, golden apples, toasted almonds. Rich and nicely viscous in texture. Drink now or hold.”
Technical info
Vintage: 2023
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Carneros
Brand: Frank Family Vineyards
Vineyard Notes
The foundation for the Carneros Chardonnay is the winery’s own Lewis Vineyard, with additions from neighboring Beckstoffer Vineyards in Napa-Carneros and Sangiacomo Vineyards located in Sonoma-Carneros.
Winemaking Notes
As with all our white wines, we are looking for texture and complexity. To achieve this, we practice a long, cold fermentation. We then put the wine through partial malolactic fermentation to soften the overall high acidity. While aging, we employ bâtonnage (hand-stirring the lees) regularly to promote depth and longevity in the wine.
