SINATRA FAMILY ESTATES 2007 "COME FLY WITH ME"
Inaugural Vintage of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
NAPA, CA. -- Sinatra Family Estates is proud to announce the release of its first vintage, "Come Fly With Me," a limited-production 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (500 cases). The wine is being produced from a 5-acre vineyard site in Napa Valley. "We spent several years seeking out the right vineyard land for this project and are delighted with the quality of fruit it is producing," said Sinatra Family Estates managing partner John Schwartz. The wine exhibits a deep ruby color with flavors of cedar, tobacco leaf, blueberry, and black currant, with beautiful tannins and a nice fleshy finish.
Each vintage of the Cabernet Sauvignon will pay tribute to the music and artistry of Frank Sinatra. The initial vintage celebrates the classic "Come Fly With Me," recorded by Sinatra in 1957. The album of the same name became Sinatra’s first-ever #1 on the Billboard charts and was nominated in 1959 for an Album of the Year Grammy. The wine label is highlighted with a classic 45 rpm, embossed with the logo of Reprise Records, Frank Sinatra’s own record company founded in 1960. The fedora is in orange, Frank's favorite color.
"Dad often ended his concerts with a toast to the audience that said, 'May you all live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.' With the launch of Sinatra Family Estates, we toast our father," says Nancy, Tina, and Frank Sinatra, Jr.
