Fruity, but not overly so, with the blackberries and black currants generously balanced by herbs, minerals and cedar. Feels balanced, harmonious, ageworthy, a wine without seams or faults. Strip, or just another glass! This wine is destined to give decades of drinking pleasure."ĩ4 Points Brix26 : " Classic and harmonious, a very solid Napa 100% Cabernet that’s dry and firmly tannic in the mouth. The mouthfeel is plush across the palate with velvety tannins, yet balanced by bright acidity and firm structure that hints at promising years to come. This Cabernet Sauvignon has all the hallmarks of the legendary Cabernets of Rutherford: the deep, cassis-currant aromas, the classic notes of 'Rutherford Dust,' and the earthen flavors of cedar and black olive. The Frog's Leap Cabernet remains an under the radar gem in today's Napa Valley." Time in the glass brings out the wine's aromatic nuance and silkiness. Cedar, tobacco, mint and sweet red cherry are all pushed forward in a succulent Cabernet with tons of character that still retains its super-classic, mid-weight feel. In 2017, the Frog's Leap Cabernet has a bit more depth and richness, as it often does in warmer years. A blend of 92% Cab and 8% Cab Franc from the near-perfect 2017 vintage.ĩ5 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is such a gorgeous wine. Call 's Leap Rutherford Cab comes entirely from estate-grown fruit. Thank you for your patronage and attention. We hope to be able to open again next week and we will make every effort possible to repair this last minute disappointment. This morning we had another serious temporary loss which has left us unable to meet our obligations. Over the last few weeks we have had a streak of bad news and many members of our small staff are facing serious health and family issues. We have managed to open the past three nights with very limited staff and some wonderful new faces in training.
