Frank Family Vineyards, Carneros (California) Pinot Noir 2019

Apr 8, 2021

By Rebecca Murphy

 Dark ruby color and spicy black cherry, raspberry aromas invite you to savor a harmonious fusion of blackberry, raspberry, strawberry fruit laced with dried rose petals, toast and vanilla animated by vibrant acidity, finishing with fine-grained tannins.  Enjoy it with a roast pork tenderloin or roast chicken.  Rich Frank met Leslie, they shared an interest in wine.  She worked as a television journalist for 26 years.  He was a Hollywood producer.  He proposed to her in Napa Valley on a property he bought in 1990 that had an old house and a little vineyard, that today is Winston Hill.  They married at another property he acquired in 1992 that is the home of Frank Family Vineyards.
