At Frog’s Leap, we always seek to produce Zinfandels that have a tremendous richness of flavor while preserving the natural freshness and purity of the grape. One of our recent innovations in the cellar—replacing most of our older oak barrels with specially-designed concrete aging vessels—has helped us to craft wines with more depth of flavor and better balance than ever before. This innovation left us ready to face the challenges of vintage 2017 head on. Record-breaking heat waves and a frenetic pace to harvest created formidable obstacles to overcome. The use of concrete—which promotes fresh, youthful aromas and amplifies mid-palate richness—complemented the herculean efforts of our vineyard and cellar teams, allowing us to bring you a Zinfandel with lush flavors, electric fruit, and perfect balance.
