Frog’s Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Rutherford

June 10, 2026 - A classic Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon anchored by organic, dry-farmed estate vineyards and a philosophy of balance over excess. Frog's Leap emphasizes purity of fruit, natural acidity and fine-grained tannins, with oak used to support rather than dominate. The result is a layered, savory Napa Valley Cabernet that delivers depth, elegance and long-term ageability.
