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

Aug 9th, 2020Another 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.
