Frank Family Chardonnay 2016 Carneros 750ml

Plenty of exuberant fruit jumps from the glass of the 2016 Chardonnay Carneros. This wine was barrel-fermented in 34% new French oak, the rest in neutral wood, and all aged for nine months prior to bottling. It is a big, rich, exuberant style of Chardonnay – light gold in color, with nice pineapple and honeysuckle, good purity and a broad texture in the mouth without being heavy.” Robert Parker

“Caramelized oak finds a companion in tangy acidity in this full-bodied, lushly concentrated white from various vineyard sources. A taste of baked pear gives it a richness that veers on sweet upfront before it opens and expands on the palate into a broader spectrum of rounded texture and a lilt of anise.” Wine Enthusiast
