Frog's Leap Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
USA, Rutherford
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
SRP CA$109.99
Description
Deep, black fruit, mocha and distinctly “dusty” aromas, brilliant structure, great acid and lush flavors without any hint of flabbiness, this wine is set to be paired with any classic combination associated with Cabernet. The elusive “Rutherford dust” is showcased in this Cabernet Sauvignon via the energetic tension between its up-valley fruit flavors (cassis and currant) and its down-valley earthen flavors (black olive and green tea) all wrapped in a crushed-velvet-like texture.
