Certified organic and dry-farmed Napa Valley, wines of freshness and restraint

Frog's Leap Winery was founded in 1981 by John Williams, a Cornell-trained enologist who purchased a historic goat farm on Conn Creek Road in Rutherford. The winery's playful name — a riff on Stag's Leap Wine Cellars — belies a deeply serious commitment to organic and dry-farm viticulture. Frog's Leap was one of the first Napa Valley wineries to obtain USDA organic certification, and its dry-farmed vineyards — which receive no irrigation — produce wines of remarkable freshness, restraint, and site specificity. John Williams has been a leading advocate for sustainable viticulture in California for over four decades, arguing that dry-farming and organic practices produce wines that better express the character of the Rutherford appellation. The winery's Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Zinfandel are consistently among the most food-friendly and age-worthy wines in Napa Valley.
