By Sean Sullivan
(Leonetti Cellar Reserve Red Wine Walla Walla Valley) Aromatically intoxicating with black currant, a medley of red and black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, anise, scorched earth, and oak spices. The palate is dense, rich, and concentrated with black fruit flavors and plump, plush tannins. A gorgeous, showy wine that displays beautifully after a few hours open. 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. Mill Creek Upland, Seven Hills, and Loess vineyards. Aged 22 months in French oak. 1,060 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

I really enjoy Washington State Cab Sauv and am a big fan of Leonetti. This Reserve is drinking wonderfully, tannins smooth and fully resolved, flavors very integrated and balanced. blackberry oak black cherry blackcurrant chocolate

Had this six months ago. This is a full bodied wine that benefitted from a 90 min decant. Silky smooth up front fruit with a mostly resolved tannin structure that leads to a nice finish. This is in its prime with a decade left of life. Paired well with a rack of lamb.

Darn. this bottle had gone slightly south. The cork broke and the wine had an immediate funky taste. it only improved slightly as time passed. I wasn't completely horrible, but it clearly was way off of what it should be. Possibly TCA? I bought the bottle on release, and it has been properly stored. Very disappointing.

1 hour decant- a decadent, silky smooth wine that exceeded my expectations after the 07’s poor performance. This is certainly in its prime and should be consumed in the next 2-3 years while the upfront fruit is so polished. Revisit 2024

A really good bottle on its own, but just could not live up to some of the Bordeaux it went up against this night. Nice fruit. Integrated. Just no wow factor
