13-year-old Washington cab from this celebrated winery. Getting near the end of life in my estimation, took a while airing out to soften up a bit.# — 2 months ago
Terrific example of Walla Walla Syrah with elegant, velvety tannin and good acidity giving a solid foundation to black cherry, black plum, blackberry, licorice, cedar, forest floor, and dried blackberry. Still developing but hard to resist at the moment. — 4 months ago
Nice - not overly jammy, and with a distinct taste of orange peel. — 5 months ago

Big and bright! Light clove and blackberry. Memories of Gino are bright with this one! Miss you big guy! 🕊️ — 2 months ago
Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.
Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.
This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

From a magnum. A fantastic wine. I have enjoyed Leonetti wines before, but this is my first experience with Figgins. Dense, complex and flavourful, with a long authoritative aftertaste, quite impressive. It’s almost ready, with many more years of life ahead of it. Better on 2nd and 3rd day when it completely opened up. Makes me want more.

Bought at the KV tasting room outside of Seattle a few years ago. Fun visit as they have plenty of wine to meet your palate needs!
I opened this as part of a GSM blind taste. There were 12 wines, including an ‘07 Cayuse GOK, ‘12 No Girls Syrah, ‘21 Allbaer Syrah, ‘12 Torbreck Struie, etc.
Out of 12, this tied for second. This took the bigger profile of the ‘07 GOK, added a juicy fruit factor, removed a kiss of funk, and tada! Double decanted two hours before taste. Translucent ruby in the glass. Aromatics of black peppered rhubarb, green/herbal twang, and cured meat (not overly meaty though). Beautifully elegant profile (and appropriate for Grenache) showing great acidity, whole cluster, with spicy strawberry, sweet jerky and no trace of oak. Defining characteristic of this wine is juicy red fruit framed by black pepper spice. Good now with decant.
