Frank Family Zinfandel 2018 750ml

Frank Family Zinfandel 2018 comes from Frank Family Vineyards in Calistoga, sourced in part from old, head-trained vines on Napa Valley's valley floor that have been farmed for decades. The wine opens with ripe blackberry, raspberry, and cherry, then turns rich and juicy on the palate, layering in blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and a peppery spice note. A hint of oak carries through a finish that lingers longer than most everyday Zinfandels. This is a bigger, old-vine style Zin for someone who wants concentration and spice over a simple fruit-forward red.

How to drink Frank Family Zinfandel

Serve it at cool room temperature in a bigger glass to let the pepper and dark fruit open up. It's built for grilled sausage, barbecue, or a burger with blue cheese — anything with fat and char to match its concentration. Give it a few minutes to breathe rather than pouring straight from a cold cellar.
