Placed 1st among the Sauvignon Blancs in our VA v. CA Blind Tasting Competition! Crisp, bright, refreshing: three words that capture the essence of the 2008 Frog’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc. Classic aromas of lemongrass, white flowers and subtle mineral notes are your introduction, followed by flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest and delicate white peaches. The wine’s connection to its Rutherford roots is underscored with subtle flavors of wet stone. Lean and lively, the wine’s low alcohol and balanced acid make for a totally engaging and pleasurable experience deftly suited for a table filled with “le fruit de mer.”

Placed 1st among the Cabernet Sauvignons in our VA v. CA Blind Tasting Competition! (It even beat the Peter Michael 'Les Pavots' 2006!) Delfosse's Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Left Bank Bordeaux style...on the nose it's rich and complex with deep Cabernet fruit aromas of ripe plum, blackberry and vanilla oak.
On the palate it's smooth textured and well balanced, the tannins blend
nicely with the dried currant flavors and black cherry notes. The long
elegant finish completes the total package of a true age worthy classic. A great match for steak and heavier beef dishes this wine will continue to improve over the next 5-7 years.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels.
