“A brightness and freshness to this with sliced ripe strawberries and some deep earth. Hints of new wood, but in a good way. Full-bodied, linear and very long. The clarity is very impressive.”
James Suckling
Frank Family has worked with legendary Napa Valley grape grower, Andy Beckstoffer for almost a decade, featuring his grapes in our sparkling wines, Napa Valley wines, highly acclaimed Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and 95+ point Beckstoffer Chardonnay.
In 2019, we decided to bottle the Pinot Noir produced on his Carneros Lake Vineyard as single vineyard to showcase the site’s unique character and quality. We are honored to be the first winery to vineyard designate a Pinot Noir from Beckstoffer Vineyards and with only 500 cases of the 2021 vintage produced, it is something to be cherished.
