Bid on this 5-bottle lot of 2005 Leonetti Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (96WE, 95DC, 94RP, 93ST, 92WS). Wine Enthusiast: "The Cabernet is sharply defined, with interesting citrus flavors defining the borders of the fruit. Lemon peel, candied pineapple and even grapefruit add lovely grace notes indicative of rich, clean, natural acids and a wine with plenty of glycerin. The stunning red fruits are polished and backed with details such as dried herb, and a tiny hint of mint. This may well be the most ageworthy Leonetti Cabernet ever made. *Best Wines of 2008, Cellar Selection* (PG)" (12/2008)

Included in this lot · 5 bottles

Provenance: Purchased from a reputable source and stored at a temperature-controlled wine storage facility.

2005 was a textbook vintage in Washington State and Chris Figgins has produced a thrilling wine here, with 83% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Layers toasty oak wrap around a core of wild blackberry pie, mocha and sandalwood scents, while the palate's fresh acidity and soft texture provide a wonderful sense of elegance. Refined tannins frame flavours of Turkish coffee, violets, black liquorice and blackberry compote, extending to a long, gratifying finish. This wine is just hitting its stride now at 15 years of age.
