Tasting Notes

Generous, vibrant red fruit from Zinfandel, balanced by the savory depth of Tempranillo, Merlot, and Petite Sirah. Cinsault adds lift and softness, while Syrah contributes spicy, floral notes. A layered and complex glou glou!

About the Wine

Frog’s Leap’s “Flycatcher” is a fresh, crowd-pleasing California red blend that reflects the winery’s passion for responsible sourcing and regional diversity. This eclectic mix showcases Lodi old‑vine Zinfandel, steep‑slope Petite Sirah, high‑elevation Merlot (Yorkville Highlands), and volcanic‑tufa Syrah from Carneros. A lively expression of Zinfandel’s generosity, savory depth from Petite Sirah, bright acidity and floral earthiness from Merlot, and spice from Syrah, Flycatcher is fruit‑forward yet structured—perfect for everyday enjoyment, yet nuanced enough to please enthusiasts.

Vineyard Notes

Frog’s Leap “Flycatcher” blends grapes from diverse California sites: old-vine Zinfandel from gravelly alluvial soils and gentle slopes; Petite Sirah from steep hillside vineyards; Merlot from high-elevation, earthy vineyards; and Syrah from volcanic-tufa soils with moderate slopes. Each vineyard’s unique soil, elevation, and drainage contribute to the wine’s vibrant, balanced character.
