Frog’s Leap produces wine under the leadership of John Williams, a former dairy farmer from New York who created the winery in 1981. Great wine for Merlot lovers. Nice ripe dark fruit aromas. Wine has a small amount or Cab Sauvignon & Cab Franc added to give this wine nice structure. Plum and ripe blackberry flavors with wafts of cacao. Soft tannins, good balance, a joy to drink. Should age nicely over next 5-7 years.

Jan 30th, 2018One of my favorite things about Frog’s Leap is the ability the wines have for aging. Eight years and still a lot of fruit. Nice natural earth tones and a silky smooth finish, with just a dash of that Rutherford dust.

Lovely on the nose, medium acid and medium tannins. Was expecting more fruit but this has a ton of herbal forest floor.

Drink your 2014 now with 1-2 hours of air. It is stunning. Preferably outside with dinner. Baking spice, purple flowers, leaves, plums on the nose. Palate is so complex and evolves a bunch. Tastes of herb garden with plums, dark berries, the slightest hint of woods and moss, more baking spice, great tannin and acidity. Super impressed.

Another day at the Stampede; another wine. Good but not distinctive. Would have liked a little more spice and depth. Might develop with some aging. Went back to the Kettle Valley from yesterday.
