Description
In a valley famous for raw power, Frog's Leap dares to choose elegance and history. Founder John Williams is a crusader for dry farming, a practice that forces vines to dig deep into the Rutherford clay for water to create a wine of incredible terroir rather than just sugar. This bottle captures the classic "Rutherford Dust" profile with notes of cocoa powder and earth, balanced by a vibrant acidity and moderate alcohol that is rare in modern Napa. It is a refreshing throwback to the "Old School" style, proving that wine is meant to be enjoyed at the dinner table with good food.
