Frog's Leap "Shale and Stone" Carneros Chardonnay 2020

The 2020 vintage will always be remembered for the devastating wildfires that deeply affected many up-valley vineyards. It was a nail-biter, but we were successful in getting our Chardonnay (and all other grapes) off the vine and safely fermenting before any damage was done. What is often overlooked in 2020 is that it was a very fine vintage for those wines that were made without the influence of smoke. The 2020 Shale and Stone is yet another delicious example of our unique Frog’s Leap style that matches lovely hints of white flowers with crisp minerality and (ironically, in 2020) aromas of matchstick and gunpowder. Crisp, bone dry, and perfectly balanced, this wine satisfies in so many ways—with food as well as just for sipping.
