Frog's Leap Rutherford Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022

As in the previous year, the low yields were a boon for those who seek after highquality Savvy B. While the vines were more vigorous than the year before, they still set a light crop in accordance with the dry year. All of our fruit escaped the major heat waves in September that defined the 2022 harvest period, and the 2022 is as fresh and balanced a vintage as we have ever made. The 2022 also marks a big increase in the amount of concrete aging of our SB—approximately 10% of the blend was fermented and aged in our concrete eggs. Concrete adds significant depth to the mid-palate while keeping the wine fresh and unsullied by oak or residual sugar— as long as it is given time to develop. Despite production pressure, we have again refused to bottle our SB before it has finished its course of 6 months aging sur lie, giving a wine with bright citrus fruit aromas, minerality, and a bit of texture on the palate to invite the next sip. 

Wine Notes

Stone fruit and white flower aromatics are perfectly complemented with crisp, minerally flavors. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity and distinctiveness of this noble grape.
