We have partnered with the Frank Sinatra Estate and his three children (Tina, Nancy and Frank Jr.) to produce two world-class wines in honor of the entertainer's enduring legacy. Our first wine produced is a limited edition Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate vineyards near the northern end of Napa Valley.
Our 5-acre vineyard has a western facing slope with gentle elevations. Soils vary from volcanic clay and rock to alluvial fan valleys with loose, gravely, sandy soils. The combination of warm days, cool nights and well-drained cobbly soils produces a low-yielding crop of exceptionally concentrated fruit.
The wines produced on this remarkable land have a rare combination of straightforward character with precisely defined flavors and fine textures exuding deep concentration without any sense of heaviness and the capacity to develop profound complexity with age. Our inaugural vintage of Sinatra Family Estates "Come Fly With Me" Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 earned 93+ points from Robert Parker and the 2008 Vintage "Nothing But The Best" will be released this Fall.
We are delighted to welcome an old world cousin from overseas: our latest wine effort La Voce. (La-Vo-Chay; The Voice.) La Voce was one of Frank Sinatra's earliest nicknames -- and one of the longest lasting. Born Francis Albert Sinatra, he was the only child of a Sicilian boxer and a Genoese midwife. La Voce is a super Tuscan-style blend of Sangiovese (92%) and Colorino (8%), two local grape varietals, produced from our 3-hectare vineyard located in the hills of Fiesole, Italy. The wine is handcrafted using old world methods, including alcohol fermentation in open top oak barrels for 3-weeks with manual punch downs every four hours. The wine rests in new French Allier barriques for another 18 months to add roundness and complexity. In our quest for quality we only produced 250 cases of this wines which will be released Fall 2010. Frank's music always spoke for itself and now so does his wine.
It's a beautiful and tasteful way to celebrate the Chairman of the Board!
