Leonetti Cellar Reserve Walla Walla Valley 2015 (Columbia Valley, Washington) - [JD 98] [RP 95] [JS 95] [VM 94+] [WS 94] [WE 93]

Notes from the winemaker: Color is deeply saturated ruby. Our flagship ’15 Reserve has an explosive nose of vanilla, lavender, cinnamon graham cracker, and puree of ripe brambles. Time in the glass reveals secondary notes of cedar and strawberry rhubarb pie. Seamless tannins and incredible length. With a finish resembling cherry liqueur, the Malbec brings the wine into tight focus. BLENDING DETAIL: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Malbec, 8% MerlotVINEYARDS IN THIS WINE: Loess, Mill Creek Upland, Seven Hills Ratings & Reviews 98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:"The 2015 Reserve is a borderline perfect wine. Made from 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Malbec, and 8% Merlot, its vibrant purple color is followed by a gorgeous nose of crème de cassis, graphite, scorched earth, liquid violets, and charcoal. Full-bodied, deep, voluptuously textured and layered, with sweet tannin, this incredible beauty stays pure and elegant on the palate, with perfect balance. It's going to drink nicely for two decades a
