Winemaker’s Notes

I am so excited about our second release of FIGGINS. I am excited about the quality of wine and the vineyard’s abilities to produce world-class fruit. The 2009 vintage favored cooler sites in the Walla Walla Valley, and Figgins Estate, perched at 1500-1750’, is showing its ability to ripen fruit, yet remain remarkably fresh and provide balanced acidity in even the warmest of years. The wine shows beautiful dark ruby color to the rim. It exhibits an incredible purity of black and blue fruits, speckled with a potpourri of heirloom rose petals, earth and balsa wood. On the palate the wine has massive amounts of sumptuous fruit as if derived from a berry compote reduction, incredible length, cleansing acidity, and an absolutely seamless finish.
