Frank Family Patriarch 2012

Description

eRobertParker.com #215 Oct 2014 Robert M. Parker, Jr. RATED 98 Drink: 2014 – 2034 The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Patriarch is the soaring superstar of the vintage. Blueberry, incense, graphite and blackberry notes that are incredibly precise and intense jump from the glass of this inky/purple wine. It is full-bodied, opulent and has a broad, savory mouthfeel. This is outrageous Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink over the next two decades. ——————————————————————————————————————————————– FRANK FAMILY Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Patriarch Winston Hill Vineyard 2012 Score: 96 Retail Price $399 Country USA California Region Napa Issue Oct 31, 2015 ——————————————————————————————————————– Tasting Note Rated 98 An amazingly seductive style, rich, smooth and creamy on entry, with mocha, dark berry and blueberry notes rounding out nicely midpalate.
