In a valley that has made its name on Cabernet Sauvignon, Frog’s Leap has always done things a little differently. Since 1981, they have farmed their Rutherford estate organically and dry-farmed — no irrigation, no shortcuts, no apology for it — producing wines that taste unmistakably of where they come from. Their Sauvignon Blanc is proof that Napa can make world-class whites when a producer commits to restraint and terroir over sheer extraction.
The 2024 is sourced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, vinified primarily in stainless steel to preserve freshness and precision, with lees-stirring to build mid-palate texture and a small addition of Muscat clone for aromatic lift. The result is a white of genuine elegance: stone fruit and white flower on the nose, layered with crisp citrus, mineral, slate, and a clean herbaceous thread that speaks clearly of Rutherford’s distinctive soil and climate.
On the palate it is medium-bodied and refreshingly precise — bright lemon and lime flavors supported by lively acidity, with dried herb and mineral accents that carry through to a clean, focused finish. This is California Sauvignon Blanc at its most thoughtful.
