92 points Wine Spectator: "Powerful, with richness to the concentrated salted butterscotch, peach pastry and dried apricot flavors. Delivers details of spices and honeycomb, with elegant, fresh acidity weaving in and out to highlight the flavors. Drink now. (6/30/23)"
91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Chardonnay (Carneros) is soft, open-knit and very easy to like. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper lend vibrancy to this steely, finely-cut Chardonnay from Frank Family. All the elements are very nicely balanced throughout. Drink: 2022-2027. (Feb 2023)"
91 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2021 Frank Family Vineyards Carneros Chardonnay sings of Golden Delicious apples, honeydew melons, and fresh peaches, leading to hints of nutmeg and beeswax. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers lovely purity and freshness, with a satin-textured finish. Alcohol 14.4%. Drink: 2023-2039. (5/18/23)"
91 points James Suckling: "A clean and poised chardonnay with nougat, sliced apple and pear and a hint of vanilla. Medium body. Bright acidity. Fun to drink now. (9/13/22)"
90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lots of orchard fruits, mango, and floral nuances emerge from the 2021 Chardonnay Carneros, a juicy, elegant, medium-bodied Chardonnay that has a clean, dry finish. It’s a rock-solid Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming couple of years. Drink: 2023-2025. (2/16/23)"
Producer notes: "This wine is perfumed in brioche and baked apple, with seasonings of nutmeg and vanilla. It opens in a rich, full-bodied concentration of citrus and white peach and evolves on the palate to show structure and depth. Bright acidity lifts hints of toasted oak, maintaining a fresh and plush finish."
