Impressive from our Oregon trip last year! 2013 is cooler vintage and this wine had density and depth of volcanic minerality. — 7 years ago

Charles Hendricks last vintage at Regusci and what a vintage 2013 was in Napa. If you’re are going to go out on a high note, 13 would be it. The most underrated Winemaker in Napa Valley.
Dark, ruby, lush, currents, raspberries, plum skin, strawberries, dark chocolate, lots of salted caramel notes, mid spice, tarriness, black licorice, soft dark earth with dry top soil, dry tobacco, used leather, vanillin, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, withering dark floral, lavender framed in violets, excellent acidity and great structure, tension, balance and perfectly polished for days. — 6 months ago
Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Merlot (15%). Deep ruby color. Dark fruit aromas and flavors (blackberry and plum) with hints of violets and pepper spice. Touch of dark chocolate on the rich finish. Medium bodied and round. Fruit forward and plush. — 10 months ago
The legendary John Williams and his team has put together a fantastic wine this vintage and as always a bargain considering the origin. Crafted as always in the classic style, yet no denying of its provenance. The 2017 Frog’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon walks the talk with a luxury appeal, a fashion model in an haute couture dress.
Ripe fruit with soft edges but with plenty of energy and nerve. Cassis, black plums, red strawberries and floral minty lift backed by a sweet spice, graphite, tobacco, pine wood and dusty rocks.
Refreshing acidity, pronounced but approachable tannins that is balanced by a soft and fruity texture. Dense and concentrated flavor profile with a fresh spine that permeates the palate. Strong mid palate and an evolving complexity through a solid finish.

So strong it will grow hair on your chest. This wine needs another five years before opening. No question this is a well-made wine with extraordinary potential. Slightly sweet to start, smooth tannins in the finish. Overwhelming fruit to start. — 7 months ago
Really good but drink around now. Stewed fruits but still fresh. Not a Bordeaux style but a bit larger with elegant and a bit of power. Glad I could share this with my folks. Fruits are rhubarb now after about an hour. Leaning down a little but still good. Definitely open the bottle of you have it soon imo — 8 months ago
Extremely Nice… in all aspects — 2 years ago
Smooth and drinking well but curious to see what this is like in 25 years — 7 years ago
Light color, creamy, good acidity. High alcohol. Bouquet pineapple, sideways, saline, honey and tangerine. Taste, pineapple, oily, creamy, sour apple tartness and strong honey. Good balance when chilled once warmed it was more sweet. — 7 years ago
Deep ruby/purple. Chocolate, spice, tobacco, dried fruit, plum, and minerality on the nose. Smooth finish with silky tannins. Fantastic and a true reflection of #stagsleap, #napa, #baldacciwinery — 10 years ago
