Leopard Frog Kiss & Tell Reserve

Vintages Available:

2004: ITEM # LFKTR04                

2005: ITEM # LFKTR05  

Varietal: 38% Merlot, 38% Shiraz, 12 % Malbec and 12% Mourvèdre

Viticulture & Vinfication Notes: Kiss & Tell Reserve personifies the balance between Old World elegance and New World verve. A couture blend of Old World and New World varietals hand-harvested, hand-selected and hand-crafted. Barrel-aged for 18 months in French oak (Nevers). Barrel matured with MLF (la malo).

Tasting Notes: Deep opaque magenta color with a purple edge. Full bodied wine with a nose of wild blackberries, ripe raspberries, black cherries and sweet black liquorice complemented by whiffs of West Indies spices such as whole cloves, nutmeg and black peppercorns. Hints of chocolate and dusty earthiness allude to apt use of wood. Soft, seductive tannins on the mouth compliment well-balanced acidity. Initial intensity of flavours include black plums, burnt black cherries and candied black currants finessed by mid-palate nuances of red peppers, rosemary and Burgundy anise with trailing undertones of vanilla and cinnamon. Rounded, lingering smoky finish.
