Established by Rich and Leslie Frank in 1993, Frank Family Vineyards is well known as a superb operation. And their wines are always proof of the pudding.
Named in honor of Leslie Frank, the 2025 Carneros Rosé of Pinot Noir ($50) is an absolute winner. And it’s perfect for all kinds of celebratory events, include the Fourth of July.
The luxury wine company of Frank Family Vineyards was acquired by Treasury Wine Estates Ltd in 2021. And Frank now sits on the board of TWE as a non-executive director. Along with her business acumen and impressive winery skills, she is also an Emmy-Award-winning journalist.
Peach and wild strawberry aromas along with flavors of white nectarine and citrus lead to what Frank Family vineyards call “pleasure personified.” On the bottle is printed “For Leslie – Effortlessly elegant, endlessly fun.” Just like the wine!
