The Story
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.

91 Points - James Suckling
Aromas of crushed herbs, sliced plums, blackcurrants and violets. Full-bodied with powdery tannins. Bright acidity pairs nicely with the fresh red fruit on the palate. Could use another year to come together.

One of the founding practitioners of organic and dry farming in Napa Valley, Frog's Leap offers a classic approach to Cabernet Sauvignon. Along with flavors of black currant and blackberry, this wine offers lingering spices, lightly tactile tannins and mouthwatering acidity. The wine is both pleasing and perfect for a range of foods from savory mushrooms and risotto, to grass fed beef.
91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Grown is classically styled stuff, done well and priced realistically. Mixed red and black cherries join subtle shadings of sage and vanilla on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is streamlined but not overly lean, with gentle padding around the core of acidity that forms the wine's spine. Softly tannic and long on the finish.
91 Points - James Suckling
Well-rounded, fruit-driven and chalky. The nose expresses aromas of blackberries, sweet cherries and earth. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins. Mellow with a fruity and chewy finish. Try after 2025.
