Frog’s Leap 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Frog’s Leap / Rutherford

A lovely Cabernet, dry and dustily tannic, with a complex array of flavors. The black cherries and cola are accompanied by firm mineral and earthy notes that make this strikingly different from your typical fruit-forward Cabernet, but then, the alcohol is a modest 13.7% by volume. All indications are of ageability. Could age at least eight years in the cellar.
