Figgins 2022 Figlia Bordeaux Blend Walla Walla Valley
5038

Product Details
(97 IWR) The 2022 Figgins Figlia Red Wine from the Walla
Walla Valley is a captivating blend of equal parts Merlot and Petit Verdot,
aged with restraint in just 11% new French oak. Aromatically complex, it
unveils notes of ripe blackcurrant, crushed boysenberry, and dark plum,
interwoven with espresso, lavender, and a whisper of fresh sage. Hints of
graphite and cocoa powder add depth to the nose. The palate is lush and
impeccably structured, delivering layers of velvety dark fruit, roasted coffee
bean, and a touch of toasted herbs. Despite its richness, the wine maintains
remarkable vibrancy, which lends precision and balance. Polished tannins create
a supple, seamless mouthfeel, while a mineral-driven backbone carries through
to an extended, refined finish. Better in 2026. A little over 1600 cases made.
Highly recommended and editor's choice.
(96 JS) Ripe plums, cocoa powder, walnuts and dried herbs on
the nose of this dark-fruited red. Violets, too. It's full-bodied, polished and
structured, with firm and compact tannins, but it's silky and velvety in
texture. Very long, caressing finish. A blend of petit verdot and merlot. Best
after 2027.
