"Marked by spicy, earthy and leathery flavors and scents, this is dry and austere on the palate, with hints of dried currant, berry, mineral and sage peeking through on the finish. Drink now through 2013. 20,000 cases made. 86 points" Wine Spectator

"Dry, herbal and cedary, this is tightly wound and leaves you hoping for more flesh and body. The dried currant and sage flavors lack vitality. Drink now through 2014. 160,000 cases made. 83 points" Wine Spectator

Crafted in the most traditional and natural ways, the 2005 Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a soft texture, ripe fruit and a deep connection to its soils - all with an alcohol level below 14%. 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.
