Frog's Leap
Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Classic Napa cab, kind of old school with more constraint and not overly fruit forward. I love it. Grippy tannins, but finely balanced. Long finish. Moderate alcohol.

May 7th, 2019You’ll have to look far for a Napa Cab of this standard at the modest price of ye good ‘ol Frog’s Leap, which does not leave you wish for anything more. The ‘15 is showing a wonderfully ripe, dense and energetic fruit profile aligned with the well placed oak profile and trademark dusty graphite complexity. Round and ripe textured tannins with a nice grip is bringing the palate throughout a long, though not exceptional
