Frog’s Leap Winery Zinfandel 2023
St. Helena
October 29, 2026 - Frog's Leap Zinfandel is a deliberate and deeply considered departure from the overripe style that dominated the category for decades. Inspired by California's legendary old-vine field blend tradition, this wine draws its power from elegance and structure rather than alcohol, with co-fermented Petite Sirah and Carignane adding backbone and complexity.
James Suckling - June 26, 2025 Quite bold and structured, this red has a good bite of tannin to counterbalance the ripe, opulent blackberry and raspberry flavors. A full body also brings dark cherry, dried blueberry,…
Wine Advocate - "Saint Helena-sourced and co-fermented with a decent amount of Petite Sirah and Carignan, the 2023 Zinfandel matured in oak, but only about 5% of the volume was in new barrels.…

Frog’s Leap Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Rutherford
October 29, 2026 - Sauvignon Blanc plays a central role at Frog's Leap, serving as a unique example of the variety in Napa Valley.

Wine Advocate - "Fermented cool in stainless steel (there's a tiny proportion of concrete-fermentation included), the 2025 Sauvignon Blanc Rutherford is a grassy, lime-scented offering, rounded out by hints of green fig and…
Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Rioja D.O.Ca. 2019
Rioja Gran Reserva DOCa
October 28, 2026 - Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Gran Reserva is a wine which is only made in excellent vintages, originally created to mark the bodega’s 150th anniversary, as well as the history and winemaking traditions of the Rioja Alavesa.

James Suckling - July 28, 2025 "The focus and length to this are impressive, with firm, racy, polished tannins and a long and caressing finish of cedar, almonds and light chocolate. Medium-bodied with dark fruit. A…
Wine Enthusiast - June 01, 2026 "A steakhouse wine if there ever was one. Muscular, flavor-packed, and brimming with cherry pie, baked fig, cassis, and baking chocolate. There's plenty of savory counterpoint as well, with licorice…
Wine Spectator - July 20, 2026 "A harmonious red that nonetheless shows muscle, wrapping sculpted tannins in a creamy range of baked black cherry and plum sauce flavors, with sweet tobacco, vanilla and blood orange peel…

Wine Spectator - October 01, 2026 "Macerated cherry and strawberry flavors highlight this dense, tightly wound red. Plum, orange peel, tar, iron and menthol notes add detail as this persists with midpalate intensity and a long,…

James Suckling - January 20, 2026 "Blood oranges and rose petals. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing significant yet evenly distributed tannins, complemented by lovely fruit with discreet yet vivid acidity. Clean, with very pleasant,…
