Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 | 750 ml.

WE93 Wine Enthusiast 9/1/2017

"This wine is a blend of fruit from Seven Hills, Loess, Mill Creek Upland, Leonetti Old Block and Serra Pedace. Aromas of mineral, black cherry, incense, barrel spice and scorched earth lead to a full-bodied textured palate full of black-fruit flavors and tightly wound tannins. It drinks quite young now, needing some time to come into its own. Best from 2024–2029." (93 pts.)

SP93 Wine Spectator Jul 31, 2017

"Well-structured, yet rich and polished, with rose petal and blackberry aromas and complex flavors of briary wild berry, licorice and pepper that linger toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2025. 2,869 cases made." (93 pts.)

RP94 Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 30th Jun 2017

"Blackcurrants, black raspberries, graphite, leafy herbs and even a hint of bay leaf all emerge from the 2014 Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon, and it’s deep, rich and beautifully concentrated in the vintage. Made from 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot and 8% Merlot, it opens up nicely with time in the glass, has ample tannin structure and a great finish. Give bottles short term cellaring and enjoy through 2034." (94 pts.)

VN92+ Vinous Oct 2017

"Bright ruby-red. Very precise, pure scents of cassis, violet, bitter chocolate, mocha and licorice. Subtly complex, ripe and classy, hinting at a subtle sweetness but in a distinctly dumb phase right now, showing a medicinal menthol quality. This is most impressive today on the broad, horizontal back end, which features firm but pliant tannins and terrific chocolatey depth and length." (92+ pts.)
