In the centuries-old tradition of the “field blend” the 2008 Frog’s Leap Zinfandel reveals the great character and multi-layered nuances of its almost forgotten varietals. The Zinfandel offers lush layers of wild raspberry and mulberry underscored with a touch of cinnamon and white pepper. The ‘Pets’ deepen the rich dark color, add a weighty mid-palate and strengthen the flavors of blueberry and spice while that dash of Carignane helps to drive the finish. The tannins are polished and the texture is plush. With an alcohol under 14% this wine is rich yet quaffable and is the perfect partner for your next barbeque
"A first rate Zinfandel. It shows the classic structure
dryness and tannins of a fine Napa Valley Cabernet
yet the pepper
baking spice and wild berry fruit and currant flavors are uniquely Zin. And look at that alcohol
under 14%. Drink this robust
complex wine with steaks
beef stew and tamales."
