Tasted at the winery, but this has put on weight since then. Beautifully complex on the nose and palate. Sweet, rich and dense, with a squeaky clean fruit profile. This will sail on for many more years in the cellar.

Considering this Bdx blend hails from a cool climate, this is excellent. Bright and tense, yet moderated by precise fruit and tannins.

Beautifully aromatic nose of both red and black fruit, vanilla, mushroom, perfume and Violet. M acid and body. M+ silky tannins. Long finish. Elegant and very classy. Great wine for a great price.

This beguiling blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot hails from Seven Hills Vineyard in Walla Walla—an interesting fruit trade between Trisaetum and Leonetti Cellars' Chris Figgins. 1841 brings to the table classic Walla Walla Valley comportment. Restrained and yet heady, with notes of blackberry coulis, black currant, graphite, anise, and violets. Don't let the 14.7% ABV deter you, the alcohol, like the oak is well integrated and as a final touch it proffers cola and spice on a rather satiny and lengthy finish. Sample

Delicious. Graphite and spice. Dark fruits. Not overwhelmed by oak. Big wine.

Needs time in the cellar to mature but too delicious to wait.
