PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEWS:
Frog's Leap proprietor John Williams has an impressive winemaking resume dating back over 40 years, cutting his teeth at Stag's Leap and Spring Mountain wineries before striking out on his own. His reverence for the old-school wines of Inglenook and Beaulieu Estates led him to Rutherford, where the well-drained soils provided the building blocks for their transcendent, terroir-driven wines. His purchase of the Red Barn Vineyard in 1994, followed by a partnership with the owners of Chavez Leeds Vineyard and the acquisition of the historic Rossi Vineyard in Rutherford Bench, set the stage for Frog's Leap to follow in the footsteps of these iconic wineries.
The 2018 Frog's Leap Cabernet is a testament to passion and superior craftsmanship as well as an idyllic marriage of grape varietals and terroir. Blended with 6% each of merlot and cabernet franc and aged for 20 months in new and seasoned oak barrels, it "abounds with the famous Rutherford ‘dust’ – defined by a synergy of herbs and black fruit, tension between the flavors, and a long finish reminiscent of rough velvet (winery notes).

93 points, Decanter:
"Beaming and pure, with aromas of fragrant red fruits, fresh flowers, and a pleasant hint of ash. Elegant and bright on the palate, with a finely-drawn, precise acidity. Frog's Leap has always placed itself among producers that champion precision and elegance, and the 2018 is a particularly crystalline example of this." (10/13/20)
92 points, James Suckling
"Plums, earth, dried herbs, lavender, and bark on the nose. Full body with chewy tannins. Firm and tight. Quite angular. Fresh and bright." (11/4/21)
