WINEMAKER'S NOTES

- Updated from the Library -

Much like the '13, the 2014 vintage was fairly closed upon release, but revealed itself sooner than the 2013. I adore this wine right now. A quite warm vintage, the '14 is unctuous and concentrated - a perfect balance of tannin, fruit, and acid. It is in a sweet spot as I write this, but can lay down for two decades if desired.

- Upon Release -

Perfectly situated on the south slope where Mill Creek enters the Walla Walla Valley, Figgins Estate Vineyard experiences an incredibly rapid evening cooling from the nearby Blue Mountains at sunset. This consistent diurnal shift is what maintains the grapes’ beautiful acidity and balance in warm, rich vintages such as this. Now entering the vineyard’s 13th leaf, this vintage shows the site’s ability to produce world-class fruit. The wine is deeply colored and bursts from the glass with baking spices, pan-reduced brambles, blueberry, and dried fig. It is delightfully fresh with a deep current of ripe fruit that runs the course of the palate. The ultra-fine tannins provide for a long and smooth finish. I'm very proud of my team’s effort to bring this single vineyard expression to you!
