Description:
93 points Vinous
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Grown from Frog's Leap is dark, bold and luscious, with generous dark cherry, plum spice, leather. Forward and supple, the 2016 will drink well right out of the gate, and yet it also has enough freshness to age nicely for a number of years. In 2016, the Cabernet has gorgeous depth to play off a classic, mid-weight sense of structure. This is a positively joyous Cabernet Sauvignon from Frog's Leap. (AG)

Tasting Note:
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. We backed off of the Merlot a bit this year so the wine may need a few extra months to align its flavor profile but we really believe it will be worth the wait.--John Williams, Winemaker
