Product Notes

Frog's Leap Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant, full-bodied red wine steeped in rich Napa Valley tradition. Its nose is a sumptuous blend of blackcurrants, plum, and a hint of fresh tobacco, underscored by subtle notes of cedar. This wine boasts a tantalising promise of complexity and profound depth. In the mouth, the wine reveals an exquisite balance of bold, dark fruits and silky tannins, culminating in an impressively long finish. Perfect to enjoy in good company, Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon is a sublime expression of the renowned American wine region.

Tasting Notes

The 2018 abounds in the famous Rutherford ‘Dust’ – defined for us by a synergy of herbs and black fruit, tension between the flavors, and a long finish reminiscent of rough velvet. Deliciously exuberant now, the ‘18 has the makings of a wine that in time will show everything Rutherford cabernet is capable of—we suggest you put some bottles deep in your cellar
