"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Patriarch (I believe this is the first time I’ve tasted this wine) is an homage to the founder of Frank Family Vineyards who is 99 years of age, and had quite a life as indicated by the back label. I highly recommend reading the label should you buy a bottle. The wine itself is beautiful, with a dense ruby/purple color, loads of crème de cassis, blackberry fruit, a gentle touch of toasty oak, and a full-bodied mouthfeel, but with freshness, purity and overall elegance and delicacy. This is a beauty and should continue to evolve . . ."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
A benchmark Napa AVA known for structured Cabernet with a signature 'Rutherford dust' - a fine, dusty tannin - and classic cassis fruit.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
