• 2019 Frog’s Leap Zinfandel - USA, California, Napa Valley (1/14/2022)
  As an acid hound, this was a little bit too soft for my liking, putting to the forefront some of those slight fructose notes I sometimes get in Zin. It’s not sweet, it just has that notion of sweet fruity coolness up front before it develops. But then the development isn’t that super-exciting in the end either. It’s a decent drinking wine, like if there was a “village cooperative Zin”. I just wanted a bit more length and complex discovery, somehow. (87 pts.)

Had this a couple nights ago, and concur 100% with your note. Was a bit flabby, sweet and boring. Decent, just not interesting. The Cab is so damn good!

Slight thread drift:

Frog’s Leap Cab is one of the greatest values in Cabernet from Napa or anywhere. And while we’re drifting, their Sauvignon Blanc is ditto.

Couldn’t agree more Dan, dry farmed and biodynamic. I haven’t tried any current zins, but on a visit 5 or 6 years ago John Williams opened a zin from the early 90’s that was absolutely delicious.
