Wine & Spirits:  Rated as Exceptional examples of their type.  "John Williams at Frog's Leap is not out to make the ripest cabernet in the valley. He's a grower, and it appears that he tuned his organically farmed vines precisely to the long, moderate 2007 season, producing a wine that stretches from the roots to the leaves and reaches toward cool, pure, tightly balanced fruit. It’s an elegant Cabernet, the fruit transparent enough to show the character of Rutherford through the lens of woodland strawberries and red and black currants. Delicious on release, this gets better with air, as it will in bottle. A wine to cellar for ten years and enjoy along the way with lamb." Jun 2010

Winery:  "Elegant and refined, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of rich black fruit laced with hints of dried herbs. The wine’s deep connection to the soil is reflected in flavors of cassis, plum and black berries which are complemented by the essence of truffle, cedar and tobacco. Soft tannins and well integrated oak are balanced with a fine acidity to create a finish that will linger well after the last course has been cleared."

Wired For Wine:  Mesmerized is what we predict you'll be at your first sip of this oh-so-elegant Frog's Leap Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.  Its rich black fruit, earthy hits of truffle and tobacco, and masterful combination of gentle tannins, well-integrated oak and delicate acidity transport you to a long, lingering finish which will leave you in a dreamlike state.  Pour your first glass and enjoy the earthy side of this delicious Napa Cab with warm, crusty toasts topped with a tapenade of green olives, marcona almonds, olive oil and garlic.  The luscious, dark nature of this Frog's Leap requires hearty dishes such as lamb, beef, and game.  We say go Mediterranean and serve a big platter of "kafta" and rice: finely ground lamb with onions, parsley, spices and pine nuts, baked.  If you're a game lover, then the oak and cedar nuances in this Cabernet will be delicious with rabbit "en civet", cooked with mushrooms, pearl onions and bacon.  Along the classic lines, the soft tannins of this Frog's Leap Cabernet will gravitate naturally to a grilled ribeye with roasted garlic potatoes and a zesty arugala salad.  Yummy!  After the meal, go for the savory option of a slightly sharp American Toussaint cheese, or the sweet option of warm fallen dark chocolate pudding with espresso ice cream.  How will you ever decide, winelovers??!
