Haven't had Frog's Leap in years, this bottle brought me right back to the classic dusty Rutherford cabs that I loved 15-20 years ago. Balanced and great with a steak, and by itself afterwards, while finishing the bottle (only 13.5 ABV--drinkable, imagine that).

Oh that "Rutherford dust". Old world style, balance, restraint, respect for terroir. Not an overripe, over-extracted Napa fruit bomb. Opened up beautifully over the course of the meal, can only imagine how great it will be in a few years.

Cassis, herbs, Ruherford dust. Drinking well now and should only get more interesting with time in the bottle.

Amazing. Showcases black cherry, cassis, sage and cedar. Billy loves. Really great with a mild soft cheese.

Intriguing nose. Almost slightly sour dark fruit in a good way. Restrained and elegant Rutherford cab.

2012 - by the glass! Broad & flavorful - a great buy in Las Vegas for BTG. - Unknown barstool guy & I wiped out a whole bottle. It was an ad-hoc replacement for a Paso CS. Their out of stock was our gain!

Ripe and acidic! This one drinks well by itself and shows off its fruity youthfulness.
