Frog’s Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Review
Frog’s Leap is a legacy winery in Napa’s Rutherford AVA. New York-born John Williams made his way to Napa in the late ’70s just in time to work with the likes of Warren Winiarski and Robert Mondavi. He carved out his own space and, in the mid-’90s, bought a plot with an old red barn and called it home. This wine might be one of the purest expressions of Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s not polished around the edges; it has a rustic elegance and power. The nose opens with crushed wild berries, anise, and soil-covered mushrooms. The mouthfeel is elegant and rich, with a seamless balance among fruit, tannins, and acidity. It’s a harmonious wine that, once on the palate, you don’t want to end; fortunately, you have a whole bottle to enjoy.
