Frog’s Leap Winery was founded by John Williams and his wife at the time, Julie, and Larry Turley and his wife at the time, Jeannine. Larry, the founder of Turley Cellars and brother to well-known winemaker Helen Turley and John made their first barrel of wine from grapes they sourced from Stag’s Leaps Wine Cellars. From vineyards to the winery, the focus is on growing and making balanced food-friendly wines. The wines are all made with non-inoculated (indigenous) yeasts. These are wines showing alcohol restraint; as of our latest visit, none of the wines were above 14% alcohol – a rarity these days in Napa Valley.
Since our first vintage in 1985, we have sourced our fruit from the same hillside of decomposed shale and sandstone in the cool Carneros district, meticulously maintained by the Truchard Family.
Pairs well with pork, rich fish such as salmon and tuna, vegetarian and poultry dishes.
