Our Thoughts on this wine.....
 Bright scarlet in color with aromas of raspberries, plums, leather, brown sugar and white pepper. Medium bodied on the palate, flavors of sweet plum and caramel are balanced with silky tannins, earthiness and a kick of spice and acidity.
Rich and Leslie Proprietors
 Rich and Leslie Frank fell in love with Napa Valley separately, and fell in love here together. Rich founded Frank Family Vineyards in 1992 after first purchasing a home in the heart of Rutherford, on what would later become Winston Hill—also where he later proposed to Leslie.
Rich"s love of wine first stemmed from his extensive travel via his global career as the former President of Disney Studios. Prior to his tenure at Disney, Rich was President of the Paramount Television Group, President of Chris Craft Television, one of the founders of the USA Network and served on their board. Under Rich"s leadership, television and movie properties such as Cheers, Entertainment Tonight, Golden Girls, Ellen, Dead Poet’s Society, Pretty Woman, Aladdin, and The Lion King achieved phenomenal success. Rich was the longest serving President of The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (Emmys). He is currently Vice Chairman and Executive Board Member of the American Film Institute.
Leslie"s natural curiosity led her to an Emmy Award-winning career in journalism and allowed her to see the world, sparking her own interest in wine. She spent more than 25 years covering many major stories, and the last nine years of her TV news career reporting and anchoring at the number-one-rated station, KABC in Los Angeles. Prior to Los Angeles, Leslie was the main anchor at KCPQ, the FOX affiliate in Seattle, where she helped launch its 10 pm newscast, taking it to number one in its time slot and clinching an Emmy for Outstanding News . Anchor.
Now, as Frank Family Vineyards" proprietors, they manage everything from overseeing vineyard purchases and coordinating charitable giving initiatives, to sales and marketing and building the Frank Family brand, while working closely with Winemaker Todd Graff tasting blends before and selecting those for bottling. Sharing in guests" stories is what brings them to the tasting room daily, where their passion for the historical winery is fostered by the familial community.
Historic Larkmead Winery
Thick stone walls mark a place in time. First constructed in 1884, and refinished with native sandstone from the nearby hills in 1906, the iconic Larkmead building is now considered an archetype of California’s wine country—appearing on the National Register of Historical Places and listed as a Point of Historical Interest in the state of California. Like its earlier days, the building is filled with high-stacked barrels and a rich bouquet of aging wines, creating an ambience of days past with the promise of future vintages.
Though once home to only sparkling wines, Frank Family Vineyards honors the building"s history by continuing to hand-craft five sparkling wines using the traditional French champenoise method, in addition to producing superb still wines. It"s the third-oldest winery built in Napa Valley, and in many ways, still feels like it once was.
See You Tomorrow!
