Named in honor of Frank Family’s owner and founder Richard Harvey Frank, the second vintage of RHF is a complex and savory wine that comes from our estate vineyards in the heart of the Rutherford appellation.

Dark chocolate lingers around ripe currant and a subtle hint of vanilla on the endless finish.
Offering elegance, complexity, richness, and long-term ageability, the 2016 Owner's Blend is an exemplary representation of the Rutherford vineyards from which it comes from. The inclusion of 16% Cabernet Franc adds beautiful aromas of blackberry blossom and red currants.

The finish is round and refined and will continue to develop and age gracefully in magnum for three decades or more.

This robust Cabernet Sauvignon shows balance and complexity - a blend of dark berry, generous oak notes, clove, and nutmeg. This is a supple and complex wine, full-bodied in style, with a punch of power, ripeness, and elegance from start to finish.
A profoundly beautiful wine, powerful yet focused, in addition to lively and fresh. The palate is tremendous in cassis, blackberry and mocha flavors, and the 75% new French oak provides perfect additions of cedar and caramel. This finely-crafted wine is soft and generous to drink now and will develop gracefully over time.
A vibrant citrus-led nose delves into nuanced flavors of baked apple, toasted oak, and brioche on the full-bodied palate. The rich mouthfeel is harmonized by a lasting thread of bright acidity that lifts and maintains freshness on the long finish.

Coming entirely from Frank Family's Lewis Vineyard in Carneros, our signature sparkling wine shows great finesse and quality. It is poised between crisp minerality and delightful toastiness. Creamy texture supports a palate of lemon zest and green apple with lasting notes of hazelnut and brioche.
A striking crimson red, the 2016 Rouge is a unique showstopper with lively aromas of bing cherry and rose petal. Bright flavors of ripe cranberry greet the palate, rounded out by hints of nutmeg and a creamy vanilla sensation for a lingering finish. Like all Frank Family sparkling wines, our Rouge is created using the méthode champenoise whereby the secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle. The beautiful ruby hue of this wine comes from leaving the Pinot Noir juice in contact with the grape skins for a brief period of time.
Named in honor of the matriarch of the Frank Family, Edythe, the Lady Edythe Reserve is a beautifully mature and rich sparkling wine. It shines with minerality and texture of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from our Lewis Vineyard in Carneros. Its intensity and concentration come from resting on spent yeast for nearly five years before disgorgement. The six additional months spent resting post-disgorgement make for a ripe, yet toasty wine, crisp and deliciously in balance.
The Zinfandel Port boasts aromas of graham cracker, roasted nuts, mocha, and molten chocolate. The mouth continues the super-dense, super-rich experience with all elements of the chocolate spectrum, and a nutty, salty end, reminiscent more of Madeira than port. The decadence of the wine makes it easy to enjoy, and the maple syrup, coffee finish lasts more than a minute.
The Late Harvest Chardonnay radiates purity and opulence with its yellow amber hues. Intense aromas of dried apricots, quince paste, and hints of pear lead into a wet stone minerality, classic of botrytized wines. The palate is beautifully balanced with layers of spice and honey that mingle with exotic notes of candied mango and pineapple. The incredible richness provides a seemingly endless finish.
