2021 Frogs Leap Estate Cabernet

Tasting Notes

A wine with all the hallmarks of the legendary Cabernets of Rutherford: deep, cassis-currant aromas, the classic notes of Rutherford Dust, earthen flavors of cedar and black olive, and a velvety, plush mouthfeel.

WINEMAKING
There is very little that is fancy about our Cabernet winemaking. All lots were destemmed and fermented on the strength of their native yeast over the course of 10-15 days, with thrice-daily pump-overs. Free-run and press lots were combined early on. All lots completed ML naturally in French oak (25% new) and were gently racked twice before bottling. The 2021 was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

THE BLEND 91% Cabernet Sauvignon,, 9% Cabernet Franc
