Tasting Notes
This beautifully complex and classically styled wine is perfumed with aromas of sweet blackberries, violets, and vanilla that guide espresso, nutmeg, and cedar flavors on the palate. Silky tannins and ample, fresh acidity support the complex flavors, lending elegance to the long, expressive finish.Technical Information

Scores & Accolades

91“Solid stuff, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon has spicy red and black fruits, cedarwood, graphite, and leafy herb notes in its medium-bodied, pure, beautifully balanced profile. I love its overall mouthfeel, it has ripe, integrated tannins, and outstanding length. This satisfying, workhorse-styled beauty will drink nicely over the coming decade.” — JebDunnuck.com, January 2025

90“Frank Family’s 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from several different vineyards, largely in the Rutherford area. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, aged in one-third new French oak, it offers up mixed red and black cherries accented by oaky spice. It’s medium to full-bodied, framed by soft, supple tannins, then firms up a bit on the finish... a ripe, easygoing, steakhouse red at a realistic price...” —Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, October 2024
