Medium purple hue, ruby rim variation. Medium / heavy tearing. Medium extraction. Moderate aromas of candied blackberry, strawberry rhubarb pie, eucalyptus, mint, cedar, oak, and allspice. Soft and velvety on the palate, more oak-forward with loads of baking spices: cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and fresh black fruit and molasses. Medium tannins. A beauty from Walla Walla Valley with predominately Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Petit Verdot and Merlot. Vintage 2013. #thesonoffig #figgins #figginswine #wallawallaholla #washingtonstatewine #cabernetsauvignon #newworldcab

Strong oak upfront. But it pulled in and integrated with the vibrant dark cherry and plum fruits very well and made it into a balanced wine with a great finish.

Another crowd pleaser. Needed a couple hours to decant. Red fruit and smooth tannins. Some earth notes in there as well — maybe herbal. Nice finish. Still has a few more years before it truly shines, but it was still singing tonight.

A lot going on with this one. Cocoa, mint, chalk, scorched earth, dried black cherry, cassis. Great concentration and a home run nose. Wow.
