Frank Family Pinot Noir Carneros Napa Valley 2021
Welp, good thing I was running off my triple shot of espresso in the warehouse and stumbled across this GEM! If yesterday put a dent in your pinot stores…don’t fret, Boba Fett!
Final Red Friday Offer: DOUBLE 92 POINT, straight-up delish Carneros pinot noir! Frank Family is a Napa Valley classic (and a cool visit, if you’re ever here, too!), and we were STUNNED, like, deer-in-the-headlights, to snag ANY of this wine!! We offered this up a few months back, y’all devoured it, and we begged the winery for just…one…more…parcel!
Crushed raspberries, rose petals, tart and elegant cranberry notes, super-duper lush, creamy, and round, with 33% new French oak perfect toastiness and hints of summer strawberries and chantilly cream, no…I just can’t go on! Sooooo tasty, and you all should know – you’ve been absolutely CRUSHING every pinot offer for months now! (And we are SOOOO grateful!) You guys and gals are certified pros by now… and pinot noir is just having a moment in the Last Bottle Universe! But FRANK FAMILY?!?! One of Napa’s most revered wine families, and one of Napa’s most recognizable brands – just LOAD UP! This is the perfect thing to have on hand at all times, and we guarantee this will have side effects, like peace, bliss, contentment, and a strange craving for mole tacos. That’s what happened to us anyway!! (Pro-tip: pick all those nooks and crannies on your turkey, braise it up in some mole negro sauce, and go to town!)
Seriously – this is bright, layered, voluptuous, even, and just seriously good. In all our years, we’ve never had a deal on Frank Family like this...CARNEROS PINOT, people! Mostly the family’s Lewis estate, plus choice bits of Beckstoffer and Sangiacomo fruit! This is one tasty beast you don’t want to miss! Red Friday Blowout…what fun, am I right? While it lasts!!!
All offers this week will unlock FREE ground shipping on 2+ bottles. We’ll compile the week’s orders, and ship ‘em out your way beginning Tuesday 11/28…so you can build a case (or three) of glorious Last Bottle vino! Please allow a little extra time!
** FYI to Alaska and Hawaii: your shipping costs will be calculated by order volume at the end of the week.

About The Producer
Rich Frank purchased a 1930’s Tudor house and its surrounding 107 acres of land, with 10 acres of vineyard plantings in 1990. He realized he truly acquired something great when the calls from neighboring wine producers started coming in, asking to purchase his fruit. The land Rich bought was drenched in California wine making history. It was originally home to Larkmead Winery, founded in 1884. It was here that Hans Kornell introduced the methode champenoise to California. After a few years of selling to Napa producers, Rich decided to create his own label, and crafted their first Winston Hill vintage in 2002.
Today, Frank Family Vineyards 380 acres are spread across Napa Valley, from Rutherford to Careneros to the Vaca mountain range in Napa’s Capell Valley. Frank Family Vineyards is deeply committed to sustainability, and is 1005 certified by Napa Green.
