Frogs Leap Sauvignon Blanc

the 2007 Frog's Leap Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of lemongrass, citrus blossoms and wet stone. The wine's deep connection to its Rutherford origin is revealed through the subtle flavors of minerality and stone. Crisp and taut on the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid and low alcohol make it a wine of engaging and refreshing restraint. Try it with freshly shucked oysters or fish and chips. Either way...just try it!.

Region Description

The region of Rutherford is a large alluvial fan north of Oakville that spreads north and south in the middle of Napa Valley, CA. This sloping mass of sediments deposited by the river gave birth to some of the most famous and historic wineries in Napa. Composed of gravelly, sandy clay loam soil, in recent years you can't hear much about Rutherford without the fraise \"Rutherford Dust\", most likely do to the warm growing temperatures. Rutherford warm weather is well suited for the Cabernet Sauvignon which is the main wine of the region.
