Our Score
(10/2017) Frog's Leap proprietor John Williams credits the movie "Sideways" with actually saving Merlot! He believes that it helped to weed out the "plonk" Merlot that was being made, leaving grapes made with the care and attention to detail that this noble varietal deserves. The 2014 Frog's Leap is an excellent example of what Merlot should be. Dark cherry, plum and blueberry fruit dance on the palate with a spicy, velvety finish. A stunningly elegant wine, this should not be missed.

(12/2016) "Keenan's 2014 Merlot is a very pretty wine that shows the more translucent side of Merlot. Lifted, bright and articulate, the 2014 offers lovely finesse in its red-toned fruit and floral aromatics. I would prefer to drink the 2014 sooner rather than later given its mid-weight structure."

(5/23/2018) "A soft and pretty red now with chocolate, berry and currant character. Full body, round tannins and a delicious finish. Layered and rich style. Delicious. Drink now."
