Item Description

Three (3) bottles of Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon: two (2) bottles of 2004 vintage, and one (1) bottle of 2008 vintage.

Say the winemakers:
"This 2004 Frog’s Leap Cabernet highlights a soft texture, ripe fruit and a deep connection to the vineyard – and delivers it all with an alcohol level below 14% (made in the most traditional and natural method). Aromas of currant and blackberry combine with a warm spice tone right out of the glass. Flavors of dried black fruits pick up on the palate with added, subtle touches of cedar, leather and a hint of black olive.  The wine’s resolved tannins and integrated oak allow for a mouth-feel that is soft yet lean with a long finish that is carried by the bright, natural acid of the fruit. In a classic year, such as 2004, we are compelled to think of the classic food and wine pairings: Cabernet Sauvignon and steak au poivre – Cabernet Sauvignon and black truffle risotto – Cabernet Sauvignon and good company.

"The classic Rutherford characters of earth and dust are present in this 2008 Frogs’ Leap Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of cassis and currant combine with a mineral tone and a touch of warm spices. Across the palate rich black cherry flavors are enhanced with notes of pomegranate, spice, cedar and green olive. Elegant and soft, this wine’s plush texture is balanced by firm yet yielding tannins and a bright acidity.

"Frog or Prince, you will enjoy these Cabernets produced from grapes grown in some of the Napa Valley's most responsibly farmed vineyards. Rich, flavorful wines have been a Frog's Leap tradition since 1981."
