Frog's Leap Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2020
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.
First certified by CCOF in 1988, Frog's Leap has been a leader in the industry for over two decades. Dubbed a “Prince of a Wine” by the New York Times in 1982, this wine set a course that hasn't veered much from its original ideals. Today this wine is still made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc grapes and done so in such a way that the alcohol is kept low, the acidity high, and the flavors crisp and refreshing. In fact, the only changes we've made along the way have been in pursuit of a noble quest: to make a Sauvignon Blanc that is so indicative of the place in which it is grown that it could come from nowhere else.
Each of the Sauvignon Blancs Frog's Leap has made during the past several years embodies the fine-tuning we've done along this journey. The wine became 100 percent stainless-steel fermented and aged in the late '90s. As of 2001, it has carried the Rutherford appellation. And in 2002 it began to be made exclusively from dry-farmed, organically grown vineyards. All of this has taught us one simple lesson: the less we interfere in the cellar with the perfectly grown clusters, the more beautiful the wine becomes.
