Tasting Notes

"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, and 2% Merlot that spent 22 months in 75% new French oak. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a sensational, full-bodied, layered wine that's overflowing with notions of crème de cassis, crushed rocks, smoked tobacco, and hints of camphor. Seamless, elegant, and layered, yet also powerful, it rates with the top wines of the vintage. Readers should snatch this beauty up."
98 points - Jeb Dunnuck, April 2019

"This regal wine really sets the tone for delivering poise, balance and elegance. Such distinctive cabernet redcurrants, cassis and red cherries, framed in cedary oak and tobacco. The palate is cast in noble tannins that deliver elegance and length. Deeply flavorful blackcurrants and dark cherries with chocolate that’s laced into the finish. A blend of 82% cabernet sauvignon, 13% petit verdot, 3% malbec and 2% merlot. Drink for the next decade and then some."
98 points - James Suckling, July 2019

The Producer

Leonetti

Leonetti Cellars, established in 1977, holds the distinction of being the inaugural commercial winery in the Walla Walla Valley. While their initial grape plantings featured Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling varieties, they have since diversified their production to include an array of wines such as Merlot and Sangiovese. The winery's Bordeaux-inspired offerings command premium prices, propelling Leonetti and its pivotal vineyards to the upper echelons of winemaking in the burgeoning Washington region.

Renowned for its distinctive terroir, the Walla Walla Valley owes its rich viticultural diversity to the silty loam soils that blanket the region. These soils play a pivotal role in shaping the nuanced flavours and characteristics of the grapes, especially when influenced by the various aspects and slopes that delineate the Walla Walla Valley. As a result, Leonetti Cellars stands as a testament to the region's oenological potential, drawing both acclaim and connoisseurs seeking a taste of the unique expressions borne from this fertile land.
