Frank Family Vineyards, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Jun 5, 2015

By Rich Cook

I appreciate the Frank Family approach to Cabernet — they make it easily approachable on release in a fleshy style that’s not without structure, but is pleasing right from the get go.  This vintage continues in this vein, with a nice mix of classic Cabernet elements — blackberry, currants, mild dried herbs and moderate oak spice are all present in aroma and flavor, with nice grip on the back end that extends the mix of flavors.  Drink up!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
