The Winery

Leonetti Cellars

“For more than 30 years, my family has been producing wines of consistently high quality at Leonetti Cellars, driven by the vision of my parents and founders, Gary and Nancy Figgins. What started as a dream to make world class wines in Walla Walla, became a true success story. Now, my role is to continue to evolve that vision at Leonetti while leading the charge for the next generation of Walla Walla vintners in the same way my father inspired the generation before me. We are dedicated to growing, producing, and marketing wine and food of world class quality, sustainability, and pedigree. Our pursuit of excellence in viticulture and winemaking is uncompromising, which allows our brands to reflect the deep sense of place and connection to the land that inspires our family on a daily basis.”
-Chris Figgins, President & Winemaking Director at Leonetti Cellars

As Walla Walla Valley’s first commercial winery, Leonetti Cellars was established in 1977. Although their initial grape plantings were of Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling, they now produce a range of wines including Merlot and Sangiovese. Because of the high prices that the winery demands for their Bordeaux-inspired wines, Leonetti and its key vineyards have become one of the top-tier wineries in the up-and-coming region of Washington. The region’s silty loam soils are responsible for the wealth of variety that their terroir creates, especially on the different aspects and slopes that define the Walla Walla Valley.

Summary

The Leonetti Cellar Red Reserve 2009 is a distinguished Bordeaux-style blend, showcasing 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. This wine originates from some of the top sites in the Walla Walla Valley and is aged in French oak, contributing to its rich, full-bodied profile. The 2009 vintage is characterized by its youthful ruby/plum color and complex aromas of blackcurrants, toasted spices, and graphite, alongside notes of unsmoked tobacco and cedarwood. On the palate, it presents a balanced structure with ripe black fruits, plum, and cherry, complemented by hints of mint and spice, leading to a long, elegant finish. This wine exemplifies the power and refinement of the region, promising continued development in the bottle.
