Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The wine has a beautiful texture; it’s rich, velvety and silky. With some Petite Sirah and Carignan for complexity, it shows wild berry, exotic spice, coffee, leather and cola flavors. My quibble, and it’s a fairly substantial one, is the heat and candied sweetness on the finish.

Frog's Leap Zinfandel - 2004

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Grabs your interest for its intense varietal character and overall balance and harmony. Zesty lemondrop, gooseberry, fig and vanilla flavors dominate, leading to a dry finish that’s rich in acids. Has the weight of a Chardonnay.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Pretty much as good as Napa Sauvignon gets. This is a dry, elegant wine with polished fruit and the streamlined, zesty cleansing quality you want from this variety. The wine is delicate and steely, with figgy, lemon-drop flavors and a spicy finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Cabernet’s a little too ripe to be completely balanced. It has raisin flavors along with plums and blackberries, and a soft texture leading to a Port-like finish, although it’s dry.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A gorgeous Cab, lush and soft and delicious. Shows a New World, cult winemaking sensibility, with superripe fruit and melted tannins framing blackberry and cherry pie, cassis, dark chocolate, anise and cedar flavors. Should age for the next ten years.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
What a fine, elegant Cab. It’s not a blockbuster, the kind of Cab designed to impress through sheer size, but one designed for the upscale table. Elegant and refined, it shows ripe currant, carob and oak flavors wrapped in soft, intricate tannins. Drink now–2012.

Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon - 2004

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Made mainly from Valdiguie, with a little Petite Sirah and Carignane, this is a very fruity wine, reminiscent of a young, jammy Beaujolais Nouveau. It has fresh, savory flavors of cherries, raspberries, watermelon and spices, with a grapeskin bitterness.

Frog's Leap Rosé - 2007

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Gentle and smooth in tannic structure, with a subtle layer of polished oak, this wine nonetheless is a little light in fruit. Could use more concentration of its cherries and blackberries.
