"Frank Family Vineyards' 2008 Napa Valley Carneros, Pinot Noir has aromas that are vibrant and abundant, opening with red raspberry and May Duke cherries followed by smoked bacon, leather and forest floor with a hint of sweet violet throughout. The palate is supple, polished and layered with fresh strawberries, cranberries, cherry cola, rhubarb pie, hibiscus tea, cinnamon, honey and smoked meat. While the wines' impression is youthful and lively, the tannins are silky and polished, giving exceptional structure and a soft lingering finish." -Winery
