NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Frog's Leap Rutherford pours into the glass with a captivating deep ruby color.The nose is immediately greeted by a symphony of blackberries, cassis, and that signature 'Rutherford Dust' earthiness. As it evolves, hints of dark chocolate, dried herbs, and vanilla begin to emerge. On the palate, the wine strikes a harmonious balance between its rich dark fruit core and structured tannins, leading to a medium-to-full bodied experience. A vibrant acidity carries through to a lingering finish, underscored by notes of espresso and toasted oak, truly encapsulating the essence of Rutherford.
