Hello everyone, I hope everyone are having a good week? Tonight I have opened the 2016 Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Estate Grown from Napa Valley. The blend is 91%Cabernet Sauvignon, 6%Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, vanilla, mint, violet and smokey oak.

On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, cedar, black olive, spice and earthy notes.

This wine is full bodied that is fresh with plush fruit with medium + acidity and medium + fine sandy tannins which moves into a long black fruit finish. Enjoy the rest of your week and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Silky blackberry, black cherry, pomegranate and red plum. Smoke, leather, autumn leaves. Modest in fruit profile but precise and elegant in expression. 3 hours in air (bc make the best of what you’ve got right?) made a whole tier of difference in depth.

Wow, what a great surprise. I remember getting a, one bottle, of this to fill a mixed case as an afterthought because it was inexpensive. I wish I’d have got a whole case.

Eccentrically named Frog’s Leap 2016 Rutherford Napa Valley Cab. Medium-full bodied Cab with smooth palate, balance and finish. No complaints here...

About as perfect a Cabernet Sauvignon as you could find. Rich, deep dark fruit, a long finish. Truly exceptional.

Dark red fruits. Hints of tomato leaf, dusty leather and fresh herbs. Nice texture. Hint of bacon smoke. A bit sharp but it is a baby. Let this one sleep a bit. Good potential.
