Frog's Leap Flycatcher Red 750mL

    Description

    Born from a playful legacy that began on a historic frog farm in 1981, this vibrant blend was created as a fresh alternative to heavy, oak-saturated California reds. The winemaking family scouted forgotten, multi-generational vineyards across the state to unearth hidden gems, including historic old-vine Zinfandel planted back in 1963. By completely bypassing new wood barrels, they captured the pure, lively energy of the fruit to deliver an incredibly refreshing, easy-drinking style. It is an unpretentious and versatile bottle that is perfect for cracking open with friends on a casual Tuesday night over pizza.

    Tasting Notes

    • Nose: Bright red berries, fresh plum, citrus zest, wild lavender, and a comforting touch of cinnamon.

    • Flavor: Lively and refreshing with a burst of raspberry and dark cherry, balancing out with savory herbs and smooth, gentle textures.

    • Finish: Crisp and mouthwatering, leaving behind hints of dark cocoa and a soft touch of smoky spice.
