95pts James Suckling

Distinctly a Carneros Chardonnay, aromas of mango, white peach, and nougat are woven together by honeyed tropical blossoms. The lush palate is upheld by notes of vanilla and toasted nuts with splashes of Meyer lemon for a refreshing finish.

Winemaker Notes

Experience the epitome of elegance with the Frank Family Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay 2021. Sourced from the esteemed Lewis Vineyard, this wine showcases the finest expression of Napa Valley Chardonnay. Delicate aromas of ripe orchard fruits, such as golden apple and pear, intertwine with hints of citrus blossom and toasted almonds, creating an inviting bouquet. On the palate, layers of flavor unfold gracefully, revealing notes of baked apple, lemon curd, and crème brûlée, complemented by a subtle minerality that reflects the vineyard's terroir. The wine's lush texture is balanced by a vibrant acidity, offering a harmonious interplay of richness and freshness.
