Great Wine Happens Every Day!
Winemaking is always on Mother Nature"s schedule. Understanding this enables us to look ahead seasonally, but also to adapt to what"s next today, tomorrow, or next week. Winemaker Todd Graff plans for what he can, but enjoys the seasonality of the process, knowing there are always different creative options to explore. Frank Family"s process begins with grape sourcing, where the most important winemaking decision is picking ripe, clean, delicious fruit. By consistently sourcing from the same vineyards, we have a tremendous advantage of knowing the grapes" personalities, even if each vintage may be slightly different.
The ability to know when to start each phase can feel like alchemy. Todd is our magician, having traveled the world perfecting his skills and learning which grapes to pair with each other, and which blends to pair with which barrel. It"s an artistry he"s mastered. Most of his winemaking decisions happen during fermentation, where two weeks of careful work determine the outcome for a vintage like Cabernet Sauvignon that ages in barrels for two years.
These choices are a team effort, starting at the top, as Todd says. After crafting several blends, Todd works closely with Rich and Leslie Frank during tastings before choosing which makes it to bottling. The outcomes are red wines with rich, full bodies, achieved through a complex extraction process; delicate white wines created by a quick fermentation-to-barrel transition; brut rosé wines that absorb the best of both red and white worlds; and graceful sparkling wines achieved through a process that takes five years from vineyards to consumer.
Across our three collections—Reserve, Napa Valley, Sparkling—we take pride in process, every day, making a diverse set of varietals that make any occasion.
