March 17, 2024 - This bottle rocked, as to be expected from the OG Leonetti/Figgins family. Popped with the Durand, unfortunately broke during the surgery, cork came out in one piece, no problems. Gave it a decant with cheese cloth, glad I did, heavy sediment. Immediately upon decant could smell the aromas of a very special bottle. Not super over powering on the nose, vanilla and maple syrup, very hearty and fulfilling nose. This wine is at peak, it was beautifully integrated, mouth watering, juicy with big dark red fruits, plum, cherries. Ms. Chugwine wanted another bottle as we slammed it in like an hour. Trying to compare to other Cabernet's, this felt like a Napa Schrader for a quarter of the price. Big, in your face Cabernet Sauvignon, beautifully integrated. I was expecting the quality but always nice to pop and it to fulfill expectations! Grab some if you can.

October 5, 2023 - Earthy, smoky and leather on the nose. Brooding and dark on approach, restrained black fruit, big tannins and solid acid
Update: opened an hour before dinner and this beauty opened up to reveal big, fat bl nj ack cherry and currant. Full bodied and rambunctious. Stellar! -

June 24, 2023 - Walla Walla AVA. Wow, it's been 10 years since I tasted this. Cassis, boysenberry, plum, red cherry, earth, smoke, flowers, and herbs on the nose. Red cherries, cassis, tart cherries, earth, spices, plums, and herb on the palate. Mouhwatering acidity, tannins still a bit grippy, long delicious finish. Wow, what a wonderful bottle. It's just starting to show some tertiary notes, though it's in a really good spot.

March 25, 2022 - Really amazing. Deep purple with a bit of brown at the rim. Lots of fruit on the nose. Blackberry and earthy notes. Moderate tannins with plum and dried fruit and black pepper. Loved it.

12/4/2013 (link) **** 1/2 points(Figgins Red Wine Walla Walla Valley) Locked up tightly at present with chocolate, red and black fruit, and scorched earth. The palate has densely concentrated fruit flavors with velvety, fine grained tannins and a lingering finish. A beautiful mixture of grace and power. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Aged 22 months in French oak (55% new). 1,630 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
