Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
This very dark wine has classic Walla Walley Valley Cabernet Sauvignon elements of cassis, pine tar and cedar, crushed red and black fruits, cranberries, and bright, high-tone floral notes. The palate is lush and fay yet elegant, balanced by wonderful acidity, and finishes with perfectly ripe tannin that carries the wine across the palate.

Wine Enthusiast
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 well be the most ageworthy Leonetti Cabernet ever made.

Decanter
2005 was a textbook vintage in Washington State and Chris Figgins has produced a thrilling wine here, with 83% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Layers toasty oak wrap around a core of wild blackberry pie, mocha and sandalwood scents, while the palate's fresh acidity and soft texture provide a wonderful sense of elegance. Refined tannins frame flavours of Turkish coffee, violets, black liquorice and blackberry compote, extending to a long, gratifying finish. This wine is just hitting its stride now at 15 years of age.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon includes 8% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 4% Carmenere, and 2% Malbec in the blend. Purple-colored, it offers up notes of pain grille, pencil lead, Asian spices, black currants, and plum. It conceals enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years and the wine admirably balances power and elegance. Drink it from 2014 to 2030.
