Drink it now. No need to decant it. Frog's Leap was founded in California in the Rutherford wine region in 1981 and has been a family business ever since. The business is run by John Williams and his son Rory, but the rest of the family (children, grandchildren, and other relatives) have joined the company over the years and actively participate in the day-to-day operations of the company. Frog's Leap pioneered organic viticulture and California dry farming, which means no irrigation is used. This has been a controversial practice in Napa, but their approach proved wise during the recent drought, when the winery didn't experience any drop in yield thanks to its practices. This Sauvignon Blanc is a flagship wine for Frog's Leap. It is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in order to maintain low alcohol content, high acidity, and complex and refreshing flavors. The wine is produced in a food-friendly and extremely fresh style, without going through wood.It has a nice stone fruit nose, reminiscent of citrus and flint aromas. In the mouth, it is wonderfully full and round with good freshness, lively acidity, great balance and a mineral and lingering finish. It generally goes well with vegetarian dishes, Dover sole, seafood, and goat cheeses.
