Nosing around in the cellar last night looking for things to clear out
I found a few bottles of 2001 Frank Family Reserve Rutherford Cabernet
Sauvignon that was urchased from the winery many years ago. I had a
friend working there at the time and after a nice lunch and tour and
many comped bottles I bought a few cases of this and that the struck
my fancy at the time. Linda made a simple pot roast and I opened the
wine. Dark reddish purple in the glass showing a little pink at the
edges but otherwise no signs of age. Peppery, dusty nose with black
raspberry notes and cassis. Medium weight on the palate, still plenty
of napa dust and black fruits with a bit of earthy minerality on the
finish. Solid "B" wine.

It's in the former Kornell Champagne winery aka Larkmead just south of
Calistoga between Silverado and 29. Still make a sparkling wine etc.
Really not bad juice.
