Frog's Leap Rutherford Zinfandel 2022

Priya Sharma — This is what Zinfandel should taste like

9/10

Picked this up after reading about Frog's Leap's organic farming and wow, it delivers. Dark berry fruit that's intense but not jammy, with this earthy quality that kept me coming back for another sip. Seriously well-balanced for 14% — you'd never guess it was that strong. Already ordered another bottle.

Annika Svensson — Great dinner party wine

8/10

Brought this to a friend's birthday dinner and it was a hit with everyone at the table. Really clean fruit on the nose, no weird sweetness, just proper dark berries. Held up brilliantly with the lamb we were having. At £35 it's not cheap but it felt worth it for the occasion.

Victor Osei — Recommended by the shop and they nailed it

9/10

Asked the guy at my local wine shop for a Zinfandel that wasn't a fruit bomb and he handed me this. Exactly what I wanted — concentrated but balanced, with a real earthy backbone underneath the berry flavours. One of those wines where you keep noticing new things with each glass.
