Frog’s Leap is a family-owned winery dedicated to sustainable principles and committed to producing wines with balance, restraint and respect for terroir. The winery makes its home amongst 200 acres of vineyards in Rutherford at the historic ‘Red Barn’. The famous winery is sometimes overshadowed by its direct neighbor, Caymus Vineyards.. but vintages like 2017 show why people might want to rethink their Cabernet priorities.
In an extremely hectic year in Napa Valley that saw fire damage wineries and ruin entire crops, Frog’s Leap was one of the lucky ones that came out the other end completely unscathed. Oddly enough, some folks including Antonio Galloni think that in the colder 2017 vintage, Frog’s Leap’s Rutherford Cabernet is even better than usual, maybe one of their best Rutherford Estate Cabs to date.
Wine critic, Antonio Galloni gushed, calling it, “such a gorgeous wine” and noting that despite their consistent excellent quality of Rutherford Cabernet, Frog’s Leap continues to be a “an under the radar gem in today’s Napa Valley.” With wines like their 2017 Estate Cab, it won’t be that way for long.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is such a gorgeous wine. In 2017, the Frog’s Leap Cabernet has a bit more depth and richness, as it often does in warmer years. Cedar, tobacco, mint and sweet red cherry are all pushed forward in a succulent Cabernet with tons of character that still retains its super-classic, mid-weight feel. Time in the glass brings out the wine’s aromatic nuance and silkiness. The Frog’s Leap Cabernet remains an under the radar gem in today’s Napa Valley.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
