    Leonetti Cellar 2017 Reserve Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

    Cabernet Sauvignon makes up 58% of this wine, followed by an impressive 32% Petit Verdot and 10% Malbec. The aromas pull you into the glass, with notes of dark cherry, coffee, flower, plum, graphite and bittersweet chocolate, showing a pleasing sense of complexity. The flavors are supple, textured and richly flavorful. Everything is in perfect proportion, with spot-on balance. It drinks beautifully now, with an open texture, but has the acid and tannin structure for the long haul. Best from 2030–2037.
