2024 Frog's Leap - Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley (750ml)

Frog's Leap was founded in 1981 by John Williams and Larry Turley in Rutherford, one of Napa Valley's most storied sub-appellations. From its earliest days the winery built its reputation on organic, dry-farmed estate vineyards, and Sauvignon Blanc was actually its very first commercial release, a choice that set Frog's Leap apart in a valley dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon.

This bottling is sourced from Rutherford estate blocks planted on gravelly soils, farmed without irrigation and certified organic. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation, a technique meant to preserve bright acidity and varietal purity, then aged roughly six months on the lees before bottling to build texture without any oak influence.

The wine offers aromas of stone fruit and white flowers, with flavors of peach skin, lemon, and other bright citrus layered over a distinct metallic minerality. The acidity is vibrant without turning sharp, giving the wine real energy from first sip to finish. Pair it with steamed clams, fresh mozzarella, or grilled asparagus.
