Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesMore preaching, sorry but if you are going to get Frog's leap you should know what it is it all about. They are the original 'green' Napa winery; farming organically for 21 years. They also dry farm, using little precious water as they craft their relatively dry, low alcohol style. John Williams isn't a fan of sweet, over-extracted reds and he does as little as possible to let the natural character of his cabernet sauvignon shine through. A touch of dried herbs marks its violet and black fruit nose, it is cabernet after all, but after that it shows the richness and weight of cabernet without overpowering your palate. Elegance poise, style, you name it Williams has turned out a balanced red that you can imagine serving with a number of menu items including steak, roast beef, lamb and cheese. Well done.
