Leonetti Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 1999, Walla Walla

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
"As a result of our years of extensive investment and hard work in expanding the acreage of our valley estate vineyards- Seven Hills and Mill Creek Upland Vineyards- our 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon is the first non-reserve Cab bottling to carry the Walla Walla Valley appellation, rather than the broader Columbia Valley appellation of years past. The payoff is very exciting, as our 1999 Cab is a broodingly dark wine with a wonderful nose of chocolate, mint, cassis, cola, and vanillin. The concentrated mouth feel is dominated by black fruits and the wines bright acidity and fine-grained tannins are in perfect balance, backed up with a tremendous finish."
 
90 points, Wine Advocate:
"The rich, highly expressive aromas of the 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley burst from the glass with cassis, spiced oak, jammy blackberries, candied plums, smoke, grilled toast, and juniper berries. Medium to full-bodied, it coats the taster's palate with Italian Roma tomatoes, red cherries, assorted dark fruits, and countless spices. This lush wine, a blend of 89.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.4% Merlot, and 2.1% Petit Verdot, is dense, concentrated, and reveals loads of tannin in its finish."
