FIGGINS 2011 Estate Red Wine, $85

August 3, 2015

FIGGINS-2011-Estate-Red-WineChris Figgins cut his teeth on cult wines while growing up on the family’s iconic Walla Walla winery helping his father, Gary Figgins, founder of Leonetti Cellars.  An integral partner at Leonetti today, Chris utilized his adeptness in the vineyard and cellar to launch his own project several years ago.  FIGGINS is a winery with one Walla Walla vineyard that produces a single premium estate wine comprised of three Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

The 2011 vintage is a luxurious blend that exudes dense structured layers of dark fruit and rich textural tannins.

Nose: Elegant red and black fruit, tobacco, dried herbs and juniper.

Taste: Shows intense power, purity and restraint with smooth, finely integrated tannins interwoven with seamless characteristics of concentrated plum, black cherry, blackberry, creme de cassis and sparse hints of sassafras on the finish.

Recommended pairing: Beef ragout braised with red wine and roasted vegetables.

Editor’s Choice – Outstanding

Production: 2150 cases

Alcohol: 14.1%
