WINEMAKER'S NOTES

- Updated From the Library -

Figgins Estate Vineyard is the highest elevation Bordeaux variety vineyard, to my knowledge, in Washington State. Being so, it favors warm vintages such as 2015, which was as early and warm as they come. The Petit Verdot from this vintage was just spectacular, and as a result made up a substantial portion of the final blend. With age, the intense tannin structure of this grape has softened to reveal lovely body and structure in the blend and enhanced the enchanting floral aromatics and black & blue fruits I love about Petit Verdot.

- Upon Release -

Figgins Estate Vineyard is the highest elevation Bordeaux variety vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley. Our position up Mill Creek lends itself to ideal autumn ripening, even in especially warm years like 2015. This vintage was the earliest harvest in our history, but retained a delicious balance between acidity and tannin due in part to the high elevation. This wine is what I imagined our exceptional site to be capable of producing when I bought the land and designed the vineyard over 15 years ago. Rich in color, the wine entices you with an intoxicating nose of baking spices, cherry compote, wild roses, cassis and caramel apple. Layer upon layer of perfectly ripe red and black fruits and silky tannin engage the palate. I have not been this excited about a FIGGINS release since my inaugural vintage in 2008!
