The 2013 Leonetti Cabernet is another stunning wine from this estate. Tightly wound and extremely firm at this juncture, the Cabernet is a blend of Seven Hills, Loess, Mill Creek Upland, Serra Pedace and Leonetti Old Block vineyards. The wine was aged 22 months in new and used French oak prior to bottling. Superstar winemaker Chris Figgins has crafted a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, and 7% Malbec. Possessing an ultra deep core, this wine opens with aromatics of roasted figs, black cherry, toffee, black tea and blackberry jam. There are flavors of black cherry, blackberry jam, blueberry compote, black tea, and crème de cassis. Moderately tannic, this massive wine needs at least two years to develop.
