Frog's Leap "La Grenouille Rouganté", Mendocino, California 2022
Frog's Leap has been a pioneer of organic, sustainable winemaking in Napa Valley since 1981. 'La Grenouille Rouganté' ("the blushing frog") comes from the historic Ricetti Vineyard in Mendocino's Redwood Valley: old Carignane vines planted in 1949, farmed organically and without irrigation.
Tasting Notes
"Fresh strawberry, ripe watermelon and bright orange zest, with lively acidity, delicate floral notes and a crisp, mineral-driven finish. Pressed straight off the skins like a white wine for a pale blush and real freshness: easy enough for summer entertaining, serious enough for the dinner table." — Harvest Wine Shop
