Figgins “Estate” 2011

Bordeaux Blend Walla Walla Valley

Tasting Notes:

Sourced entirely from the estate vineyard, this is two-thirds Cabernet

Sauvignon and one-third Merlot, with just a

splash of Petit Verdot. Fat, juicy, toasty and

deliciously flavorful, it opens quickly into a

plush midpalate, with pomegranate and raspberry fruit

dominant. Streaks of caramel and nougat thread through the

generous finish.

Turley 2016

Zinfandel Howell Mountain

Tasting Notes: One of

Turley's emblematic bottlings, the 2016

Zinfandel Old Vines exhibits a lovely bouquet of

raspberries, plums, cherries and licorice. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied,

deep and concentrated, with rich structuring tannins, a

generous core of fleshy fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Passalacqua notes that a lot of the single

vineyards that Turley works with today began life as part of the Old Vines blend while

the sources and farming improvements were made and

that a few barrels of many of the top single vineyards

usually find their way into the blend.

Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Tasting Notes: Complex

and compelling, this generous wine reflects

the diversity of great napa valley cabernet sauvignon.

On the nose, vibrant layers of red and black

fruit mingle with hints of violet, dried herbs, black licorice and graphite. The flavors echo the aromas,

with lovely black currant and licorice elements

supported by firm, impeccably balanced,

tannins and an excellent structure. Good acidity helps to carry the juicy
