About the Wine
Zinfandel, a cornerstone of California’s wine heritage since the 1880s, remains a cherished grape despite Napa’s shift toward Cabernet. Frank Family proudly honors its legacy with this Napa Valley designate, sourcing fruit from the S\&J Vineyard in Capell Valley, Sunseri Vineyards in Chiles Valley, and select blocks in St. Helena and Calistoga.
Tasting Notes
This lively expression of Zinfandel offers aromas of dark plum, raspberry coulis, and sandalwood on the nose. On the palate, flavors of baked strawberry, dried herbs, and ground pepper commingle, while ripe, firm tannins and fine acidity frame and lift the wine into a long, unending finish.
Pairing Notes
The 2022 Napa Valley Zinfandel offers bold flavors of dark plum, raspberry, and spice, balanced by firm tannins and bright acidity. It pairs beautifully with grilled and barbecued meats, spicy pasta dishes, and aged cheeses like Manchego or Gouda. For a unique twist, try it alongside a rich dessert such as Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse Cake, where the wine’s fruit and spice notes shine.
