Frog's Leap Napa Valley "Granite" 2015 Red Wine, $19.99-$39.99, 90 points, poured deep purple/reds with a broad clear wine ring and a moderately draped bowl.
Interesting aromas of wild mulberries, blueberries, violets, cocoa, and nuanced cedar kept shifting in waves.
Medium-bodied with good acidity and easy fine grainy tannins carried the wild fruit onto the palate with red raspberry and citrus notes.
Finished on the trailing palate, a hint of fig and tobacco, white pepper, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my Mexican cuisine.

This wine is specifically for New Hampshire?
ReplyDeleteYou saw that!
DeleteI've been in communication with Frog's Leap, but am waiting for some details.
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteFunny things about this wine: clerk didn't know about the significance of this wine and its label, nothing found on the internet, nothing on their web site, and media rep never heard about this. I did guess as to what I thought was in it; so here's my guesses: 65% Zin., 20% Cab. Franc, and 15% Merlot; should be interesting to hear from the winemaker (maybe embarrassing), if I ever do.
DeleteInteresting. I'm waiting to hear the answer too.
