2019 Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon A classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine shows its Rutherford base with bountiful aromas of cocoa, red currant, cinnamon and blackberry; full-bodied with moderate tannins and a long finish, the wine sings with flavors of chocolate, kirsch, and eucalyptus. Winemaker
This is a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with pronounced aromas of blackberry, cassis, and vanilla that welcome you into the glass. Flavors of black plums, nutmeg, dark chocolate, and a touch of espresso enhance the wine’s complex and full-bodied structure, with a core of elegant acidity from start to finish. Winery
Seamlessly woven in black cherry and cocoa, our flagship Cabernet is sumptuous and seductive in structure and complexity. The palate offers flavors of hazelnut, baked plum, and cloves while brilliant acidity on the finish balances the concentration of flavors and tannins.
I have secured a rock bottom price from the excellent 2019 vintage. The vintage has excellent structure worthy of the cellar. Galloni of Vinous comments; “the 2019s I have tasted so far are fabulous. The wines feel like they have a little more energy, power and depth than the 2018s” and 2018 is also a great vintage.

Today I have a great price on the 2019 Frank Family Napa Cabernet. The vintage is superb and we secured a great price on the wine. Regularly sells for $71.99, we have it down to $44.99 making this a great buy. Lovers of Caymus, Silver Oak, this wine is half the price of those and just as good. Sourced from Frank Family’s four vineyards plus Beckstoffer’s Cab Vineyards. Combined are valley floor and mountain vineyards resulting in a rich supple cab with added structure for the cellar. This Cabernet absolutely rocks at the price, to drink now or lay down in the cellar. 2019 is a definite buy. Take advantage of this great price!
