The eastern side of the Rutherford appellation is lined with deep clay soils that are the perfect place to grow great merlot. The 2004 Frog’s Leap Merlot is predominantly grown in these soils in the shadow of the Red Barn, yielding a wine of intensity and structure that needs no blending partner. The purity of the merlot varietal shows in the wine’s classic aromas of cherry and ripe red fruit. On the palate one can easily taste why Cab wasn’t needed for structure – this wine has a balance that is best left to stand on its own. Flavors of chocolate, plum and pepper find great harmony with the plush, soft texture of this merlot. With ripe fruit and clean flavors the wine is a perfect match with frisee aux lardons.
