May 8, 2024 - Nice leathery earthy nose. Deep flavor, nice chalk, chewy, well balanced- love it.

November 19, 2023 - Very well integrated tannins and long finish. Has the depth to age for another decade. Didn’t knock my socks off, but a very solid expression of WW Cab.

November 14, 2023 - Four hour decant. Deep magenta color (much lighter than a Napa CS). Ripe blackberry, cassis, rhubarb jam, and Black Forest cake. Dry, satiny palate, with dusty acidity. Firm, satiny tannins on the long finish.
This is youthful, dark, and brooding currently. I’ll wait another year and do a two hour decant with the next bottle. Even so, I really enjoyed this. It lingers on the tongue forever. This will absolutely improve a point per year for the next three years. 94+ for now.2 people found this helpful Comments (2) -

December 23, 2022 - This was my first Leonetti Cab and it was fantastic. Decanted this one as it is very early in the drinking window. Beautiful bouquet on the nose with aromas of black currant, black cherry, mocha and cedar. This is full-bodied with flavors of black raspberry, blackberry, dark chocolate and vanilla. The finish is lengthy as you can imagine. Enjoy this one over the next two decades.
