Compared to industry standards, Frog's Leap Merlot stands out for its moderate alcohol level, which promotes a smoother and more approachable drinking experience. While many Napa Valley Merlots trend toward higher alcohol and heavily extracted flavors, Frog's Leap preserves the grape’s delicate nuances and vibrant structure.

Frog's Leap Merlot benefits from state-of-the-art sustainable farming techniques and minimal intervention winemaking, which protect the grape’s natural character. The 18 months of aging in French oak barrels result in well-integrated tannins and enhanced aromatic complexity. These technical decisions provide a smooth, layered palate featuring notes of black cherry, plum, and subtle spice. Thanks to these innovations, this Napa Valley Merlot offers both immediate drinking pleasure and excellent aging potential, making it a benchmark for eco-conscious, top-tier California red wines.
