This beautiful bottle is a special library release from Frog's Leap, kept under pristine conditions at the winery until it reached perfect harmony. Unlike many heavy, high-alcohol California styles, this 2016 vintage was crafted in an elegant, old-school fashion using unique concrete cellars to preserve the grapes' pure, vibrant fruit identity. Grown on certified organic, dry-farmed vines that dig deep into the Napa soil for natural flavor concentration, it offers a remarkably fresh and balanced experience. It feels like a brilliant insider secret, making it the perfect choice for a cozy dinner or a relaxing evening with close friends.
