2014 FIGGINS ESTATE RED WINE
Walla Walla Valley
A wine of place inspired by legacy
95pts International Wine Report | 93 pts Wine Enthusiast | Cellar Selection | 94 points Wine Advocate
"Chris makes a single Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated red that's brought up all in small new and used barrels. The 2014 Estate Red Wine is a blockbuster that comes from estate vineyards in Walla Walla and incorporates a splash of Merlot and Petit Verdot.

2015 LEONETTI CELLARS SANGIOVESE
Walla Walla Valley
I believe this to be our finest Sangiovese since we began producing the variety in 1995. The nose is flamboyant with graham cracker, pureed raspberries, tar, and cigar box. Rustic, perfectly polished tannins and a long, pure finish. Serra Pedace, Seven Hills, Loess, Mill Creek Upland.
87% Sangiovese, 13% Aglianico. 903 cases
CELLARING WINDOW-Now through 2043

2016 LEONETTI CELLARS MERLOT
Walla Walla Valley
Winemaker Notes: 2016 will be remembered as a classic vintage for Merlot. This wine has a delicious, creamy nose with jammy black fruits and mixed florals. It is incredibly broad on the palate–a distinctive characteristic of Washington Merlot. The finish is spicy, sweet, lively, and lengthy.
95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc

2015 LEONETTI CELLARS CABERNET
Walla Walla Valley
Winemaker Notes: Nearly black in the glass. Intricate nose of licorice, lavender, dried herb, cold black coffee mixed with caramel, black fruits, and elderberry. Incredible purity of fruit. Massive, but plush, with a core of mouthwatering acidity and a polished finish.
85% Cab Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 3% CabFranc
97pts James Suckling | 96pts Jeb Dunnuck

2015 LEONETTI CELLARS RESERVE
Walla Walla Valley
Winemaker Notes: Color is deeply saturated ruby. Our flagship ’15 Reserve has an explosive nose of vanilla, lavender, cinnamon graham cracker, and puree of ripe brambles. Time in the glass reveals secondary notes of cedar and strawberry rhubarb pie. Seamless tannins and incredible length. With a finish resembling cherry liqueur, the Malbec brings the wine into tight focus.
63% Cab Sauvignon, 29% Malbec, 8% Merlot
