For three decades, Frank Family Vineyards has remained steadfast in our commitment to sustainability and giving back, a legacy long established by Founders Rich and Leslie Frank. Our winery maintains sustainability certifications across 100% of our owned and leased operations, and actively encourages other grape growers we partner with to do the same.
We enhance and preserve biodiverse ecosystems to increase the resiliency and health of our soils and surrounding environment. We employ regenerative practices of compost application, cover cropping, low- and no-till farming, and animal integration – all of which support a vibrant and healthy ecosystem with living soils.

Todd Graff | Senior Winemaker & General Manager
inemaker and General Manager Todd Graff is behind Frank Family’s reputation as a world-class producer of Napa Valley Cabernet and Chardonnay and our Napa Green certification for both land and winery. Prior to joining the family in 2003, Todd’s career began across the globe, where he worked at the steep slate vineyards of Weingut Klaus Schweicher in Mosel, Germany, the sandy soils of Château Yon-Figeac in St.-Émilion, France, and the decomposed granite and sandstone loam soils of Arrowfield Estate in Australia’s Hunter Valley, among others.
Todd played an essential role in our winery’s steady growth over the past 19 vintages including our recognization as “Winery of the Year” by the Connoisseur’s Guide to California Wine in both 2012 and 2017. In 2020, Todd was named “Napa Winemaker of the Year” by the North Bay Business Journal as a result of his positive contributions to the wine industry
Alicia Sylvester | Winemaker
Alicia Sylvester joined the Frank Family Vineyards team in 2024, bringing with her more than a decade of global winemaking experience, a “can-do anything” attitude and a magnetic sense of humor. She collaborates closely with longtime Senior Winemaker & General Manager Todd Graff to craft the winery’s portfolio of world-class Napa Valley wines. A California native, Alicia’s deep love for the state’s agriculture is rooted in her upbringing on her family’s almond farm and 20-acre Zinfandel vineyard in the Central Valley.

@closduval’s bottles from Verallia are 30% lighter than traditional bottles, which represents a 34% reduction in carbon emissions from glass production alone!
Lightweight glass saves natural resources, lowers transportation costs and emissions, and reduces the risk of employee injuries. Not only is it infinitely recyclable, it’s also beautiful!
