Winery - Leaping lizard
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Leaping Lizard is turning out good value wines that show true varietal character. This Sauvignon Blanc, which doesn’t seem to have any oak, shows crisp, bright flavors of pineapples, apricots and spices. It’s a bit on the sweet side, but with good balancing acidity.

This dry and full-bodied wine is a little rugged and heavy in texture, with an astringently tannic finish. But it has enough cherry, berry and oak flavors to make it a pretty good buy at this price.

A very nice Cabernet at a great price for the quality. It’s dry and smooth, with rich Napa tannins framing classic Cab flavors of blackberries, black currants, minerals and cedar. Tastes like it costs three times as much.

Very dry, tart and earthy, this is a solid Chardonnay to drink now, at a fair price. It has everyday flavors of peaches and green apples.

Easily earns its high score for the dryness, mouthwatering acidity and classic Sauvignon Blanc flavors. Waves of Meyer lemons, ripe limes, sweet hay, green apples, vanilla, honeysuckle and spices wash over the palate, ending in a firm minerality.

An everyday Zin, soft and candied, with blackberry, cherry, licorice and cocoa flavors. The tannin structure is rich. Drink now.

You’ll find some green, unripe notes and the resulting sharp tannins in this Cab, but it’s really a pretty good buy at this price. It’s dry and full-bodied and has enough blackberry and cherry flavors to satisfy.

A solid Merlot that shows many of the same features as much more expensive bottlings. It’s smooth and softly tannic and forward in blackberry, cherry and spice flavors. Loses some points for a certain roughness to the tannins.
