Leonetti Cab 2006

This Cab comes from a handful of vineyards in Washington's Walla Walla Valley, a hot bed for Bordeaux varietals, including Seven Hills, Mill Creek Upland, Pepper Bridge and Old Winery Block. The wine is deep and concentrated from color to aroma and onto the palate. Blueberry pie and a hint of pine dominate the nose, which is a little closed right now because of the wine's youth. With some air, secondary aromas of cassis, blackberry and tobacco start to unfurl their aromatic wings. The wine's mouthcoating texture, viscosity and sweet fruit just hint at what's to come. Cellar this for a few years and be swept away.
