"Odedi"

9.1

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Showing a beautiful nose, once it opens up.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, cola, peppercorn, vegetables, spices and black tea.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley is drinking very nicely now.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had it 3 years ago, and it is drinking very similar.

Needed 30 minutes to open up, and remove some of the bitterness.

The nose is very complex at this point. Really beautiful.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 18 months in (35% new) French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Bought at the KV tasting room outside of Seattle a few years ago. Fun visit as they have plenty of wine to meet your palate needs!

I opened this as part of a GSM blind taste. There were 12 wines, including an ‘07 Cayuse GOK, ‘12 No Girls Syrah, ‘21 Allbaer Syrah, ‘12 Torbreck Struie, etc.

Out of 12, this tied for second. This took the bigger profile of the ‘07 GOK, added a juicy fruit factor, removed a kiss of funk, and tada! Double decanted two hours before taste. Translucent ruby in the glass. Aromatics of black peppered rhubarb, green/herbal twang, and cured meat (not overly meaty though). Beautifully elegant profile (and appropriate for Grenache) showing great acidity, whole cluster, with spicy strawberry, sweet jerky and no trace of oak. Defining characteristic of this wine is juicy red fruit framed by black pepper spice. Good now with decant.

At the end of its life but still a powerful Syrah with plum, raisin, and dark fruit. The nose is weak now I wish had gotten to it earlier but this is a well-made Syrah. Excellent but not sure it is worth $82. — 4 months ago

9.1

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.

This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier. Only 859 cases produced.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

From a magnum. A fantastic wine. I have enjoyed Leonetti wines before, but this is my first experience with Figgins. Dense, complex and flavourful, with a long authoritative aftertaste, quite impressive. It’s almost ready, with many more years of life ahead of it. Better on 2nd and 3rd day when it completely opened up. Makes me want more.

13-year-old Washington cab from this celebrated winery. Getting near the end of life in my estimation, took a while airing out to soften up a bit.# — 2 months ago

Terrific example of Walla Walla Syrah with elegant, velvety tannin and good acidity giving a solid foundation to black cherry, black plum, blackberry, licorice, cedar, forest floor, and dried blackberry. Still developing but hard to resist at the moment. — 4 months ago
