2022 Frog's Leap Merlot, Rutherford, USA (750ml) Blanc de Blancs After fermentation in stainless steelWINEMAKER'S NOTES: Extravagant plum fruit aromas enriched by the lush flavors that Merlot is famous for. Grown in cool clay soils, this wine shows why some of the rarest wines in the world start with Merlot. TASTING NOTES: Attractive aromas of dark and blue fruit, dried violets and coffee with earthy nuances. Juicy and expressive, it has medium to full body and a core of succulent fruit, framed with dusty tannins. Lingering and bright. James Suckling,
