The 2021 Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon is a notable red wine hailing from the Columbia Valley, specifically the Walla Walla appellation in Washington, USA. Crafted predominantly from 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, the blend is complemented by 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and a small portion of Malbec. Aged for 22 months in once-filled oak and neutral oval botti, this wine presents a vivid purple hue.

Renowned wine critic Jeb Dunnuck awarded this wine an impressive 97 points, highlighting its exceptional quality. He describes the wine as having a "perfurmed, youthful bouquet of cassis and blue fruits" that transitions into "graphite, chalky minerality, violets, and spicy oak." On the palate, it is characterized as "deep, rich, and medium to full-bodied," with a "gorgeous mid-palate" and "ripe, building, polished tannins." Dunnuck particularly praises its "fabulous length on the finish," indicating the wine's potential to age gracefully over the next two decades.

Dunnuck's review emphasizes the wine's need for patience, suggesting that it "needs to be forgotten for 2-4 years" to allow its flavors and structure to develop further. He lauds it as "absolutely brilliant" and "another sensational wine from the talents of Chris Figgins," the winemaker behind this creation.

Overall, the 2021 Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding example of Washington State's wine craftsmanship, particularly noted for its rich bouquet, depth, and aging potential. Its excellent score from Jeb Dunnuck underscores its status as a wine worth attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike.
