2006 Frog's Leap Rutherford Merlot, Napa Valley
Some say this is the ace in the Frog's Leap pack, one the very finest examples of top Merlot around today. The Rutherford terroir certainly seems to give the edge: the nose discreetly decorated with fine mocha shavings along with an earthy, fleshy black cherry character, echoing Pomerol's best. To taste one's struck by the pencil box elegance of it all, albeit still a tad unresolved in youth. Ideally drunk between 2010 and 2020, along with some lambs liver.
