Zinfandel, Frog's Leap, Napa Valley, 2023

There is limited published professional scoring specifically for the 2023 vintage. The clearest current professional assessment is from Wine Access, which describes the wine as elegant and layered, with black cherry, mulberry, ripe peach and root beer aromas, followed by dark plum, spice, lively acidity and textured tannins. It recommends drinking now through 2033. WWineAccess

There is also an 8.4/10 assessment from Sips & Sneaks for the 2023, placing it among their higher-rated wines. SSips and Sneaks

For context, the preceding 2021 vintage received 94 points from Wine Enthusiast, which praised its crisp acidity, mixed cherry and cranberry fruit, savory spice and firm but moderate tannins. WWine Enthusiast
