Note di degustazione
(a Bordeaux blend based on 83% cabernet sauvignon) Good bright red-ruby. Tight aromas of cassis, black cherry, coffee and smoky oak. Deep, rich and powerful but youthfully brooding today in spite of its lovely sweetness of fruit. This really builds on the back end, finishing with a strong cocoa powder note and substantial dusty tannins.

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon includes 8% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 4% Carmenere, and 2% Malbec in the blend. Purple-colored, it offers up notes of pain grille, pencil lead, Asian spices, black currants, and plum. It conceals enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years and the wine admirably balances power and elegance. Drink it from 2014 to 2030. Founded in 1978 by Gary Figgins, Leonetti Cellar remains a benchmark Washington winery. Shortly the winery will be in a position to achieve its goal of producing all of its wines from estate-grown Walla Walla vineyards. Gary’s son Chris has taken over much of the day-to-day operation of the winery and in particular the viticultural component. Tel. (509) 525-1428; www.leonetticellar.com
