  August 24, 2015 - Medium red-garnet, ample bricking. Low intensity nose, of black cherry fruit vying with a bit of dusty books and spice pantry that elbow for one's attention. On arrival, medium-low tannin and low acidity. Flavor is decently full of fully mature cabernet character, repeated from the nose, plus some olives and bay leaf warmth. A nice surprise in a cull-the-cellar party. Bottle #2 of two.

  March 18, 2012 - Occupy Spoof comes to town. (Joe's.): Whenever vigneron are around, I like to whip out a bottle like this to show them what California can do. The fact that Frog's Leap is also organic certainly is a plus with this crowd. This bottle didn't disappoint. In fact, it showed identically to one from magnum I had with John Williams in August, albeit with less vigilant tannins. There's ripe black fruit that's not at all overdone, nice herb notes and hints of cocoa with a comfortable, softened structure. A-.

  December 17, 2010 - Another bottle from the "why is that still in my cellar month" hosted by the "Drink Now" section on Cor.kz. No to little brown ring. Medium garnet color, definite but not major fade. Reticent nose. some chocolate cherry kind of thing. Problem is on the palate, where the near parching tannns still outpace the cherry fruit, long since I imagine faded. Odd strong vegetal thing on back palate. Still for all the criticism, the bottle lays empty. A powerful reminder to drink timely. Get this kind of thing out of your cellar and move on.
