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.# — a month 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.
Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Smelled like raspberry jam in the decanter, but much more mineral-like in the glass. Fruit-forward, but not overly so like many Syrahs. — a month ago
Black cherry, raspberry, plum, blackberry, cassis and oak. Full-bodied and soft tannins. — 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. — 3 months ago
Well balanced and smooth finish. — 3 days ago

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.
