Leonetti Cellar 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $85

Enthusiast 100 2011

Score Chasers: USA 2011

Dense, aromatic, layered and rich, this wine explodes from the glass with scents and flavors of concentrated berries, cassis, black cherry, and more. The vines have reached a mature stage that amplifies the fruit and keeps the generous barrel flavors in perfect balance. The barrel notes roll on in a chorus of toasty accents, and the finish is as good in the last… — P.G. (9/1/2011)

Leonetti Cellar 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $85

The 76% Cabernet Sauvignon is melded with 17% Merlot, 4% Carmenère, and 3% Malbec, creating a stunningly dense, polished, tight wine. It’s light years away from the Leonetti’s of the 1980s—compact and loaded with black fruits, pepper, fresh herbs, rock, earth, toast and smoke. It’s so tight that it’s almost impossible to dissect. It needs time—a lot of time. — P.G. (8/1/2010)

Leonetti Cellar 2005 Reserve Red Wine (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $125

The 2005 Leonetti Reserve is all estate vineyard fruit—63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot. It is saturated and dense. The fruit is dark, smoky, herbal, tight and loaded with licorice, tea leaf, black olive, hints of tar and graphite. Tannins are in perfect proportion, polished and ripe, with extra texture and weight. The finish is granular and… — P.G. (11/1/2008)

Leonetti Cellar 2004 Reserve Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $110

100% estate grown, this truly exceptional Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot blend opens with angular, vertical fruit flavors, stacked tightly and detailed with citrus, graphite and chalk. The layered mid-palate mixes grape, berry, cherry and plum, sweet and dense. The oak is applied moderately, not dominating as in past Leonetti reserves. It’s a profound wine with… — P.G. (11/1/2007)

Cayuse 2003 Armada Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $65

A truly stunning wine of amazing complexity. It has layers of depth rarely found in any Washington wines, beginning with dense black fruits, black licorice, smoke, pepper and charcoal. The trademark Cayuse herbal/green tea elements are there also, more as hints than as layers. The aging in big neutral barriques has buffed it out; as it breathes in the glass the… — P.G. (3/1/2007)

Leonetti Cellar 2008 Reserve Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $135

Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011

In comparison with the 2008 Cabernet, this is the bigger wine, less sleek, more chewy. As it opens in the glass, the aromas display incense scents, and there is assertive, blocky, chewy fruit––especially black cherry. The tannins are also bigger, blockier, more substantial than the Cabernet. With hours of breathing time, exotic spices (saffron and more) emerge. — P.G. (9/1/2011)

Leonetti Cellar 2008 Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $70

This is 100% varietal, from the Loess, Seven Hills, Pepper Bridge, and Mill Creek Upland vineyards. A deep, intense take on Merlot, it’s so dark and concentrated that it dances on the )edge of bitterness, but in a style reminiscent of the finest Italian Merlots, that use that flavor to define and elucidate a dark and potent wine. In the mouth it fills out with… — P.G. (8/1/2010)

Leonetti Cellar 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection

Price $80

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… — P.G. (12/1/2008)
