Frank Family Vineyards of Napa Valley, California produces wines that live up to the heritage of the land on which they are produced. A family owned and operated winery, owners Rich and Leslie Frank focus their energies on making superb still wines. The winery produces Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Petite Syrah and several distinctively different Cabernet Sauvignons. The highly regarded Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, which is barrel aged for thirty months, is emerging as one of the most sought after wines in the valley and their Carneros Vineyards produced some of the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir available.

"Murphy Distributors is delighted to feature Frank Family Wines at this historic Wine Dinner Event at Foxwoods," said Matthew Murphy, President of Murphy Distributors. "These extraordinary wines and unique delicacies are paired beautifully by the master chefs at David Burke Prime."

"The first course will include the Frank Family Brut Rosé 2012, pink in color and on the nose, perfumes of fresh strawberries and warm Brioche rise from the glass. The second course has Frank Family Chardonnay 2014, a medium-light golden yellow with a fragrant tropical apricot and mandarin orange aroma with a note of sweet oak and hint of honeysuckle. A perfect pairing for seafood and shellfish. Frank Family Pinot Noir 2013 accompanies the third course with a bright ruby core and opens with aromas of black cherries, raspberries and spice. The palate is fleshy, loaded with fresh berry flavors and lush savory notes. The tannins are refined and provide elegance and structure," Murphy added.

"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa pairing with the fourth course is a much friendlier, supple, fruit-forward style of wine with loads of crème de cassis, plum, licorice and spice - an opulent, full-bodied wine. The fifth and final course features a Late Harvest Chardonnay - a dessert wine that radiates purity and opulence with its yellow amber hues. Intense aromas of dried apricots, quince paste and hints of pear lead into a stone minerality. The palate is beautifully balanced with layers of spice and honey that mingle with exotic notes of candied mango and pineapple," added Murphy.

"Frank Family Vineyards share our passion for providing the best products in the industry, taking pride in all they do. It is the higher standard they project that has set them apart from other wineries. It is also what brings us together. Murphy Distributors shares the passion for having the highest standards in the industry. Murphy Distributors is not just another distributor; we represent something different as well, and that is exceptional producers and branding,” Murphy added.
