Leonetti Cellar
 

“Leonetti Cellar is unquestionably Washington State’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon producer.” -Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
 
“The 2021s from Leonetti Cellar are to die for.” –Eric Guido, Vinous Media
 
Second generation winemaker Chris Figgins is Washington Wine royalty. Leonetti Cellars, founded in 1977, was Walla Walla’s first commercial winery and one of the first producers in Washington State to bring Cabernet Sauvignon to a level comparible to the likes of Napa and Bordeaux. Walla Walla, with its hot summer days, cool nights, and iron rich soils, has proven an ideal climate for creating concentrated, balanced, and mineral-rich, age worthy wines.

Clos Mogador: Bodega Espectacle Vins Espectacle del Montsant Garnacha 2020 - Lobenbergs Gute Weine


Tasting a grape from its place of origin brings a sense of enormity and significance that cannot be replicated. When I enjoy wine, I see myself not only as someone that appreciates great flavor, but as an actual adventurer and witness to the history and culture of the broader world. The celebration of what makes any grape or style unique is what continuously pulls me back into the passion and forms the deep reverance I have for classic regions.

And…..what if I told you we have 4 vintages of such an experience that all scored 97+ points?

Which brings me to our offer today! On sale now is simply some of the best garnacha that Spain has ever made. Coming straight from the heartland of garnacha’s origins are the wines of Espectacle del Montsant. … Read the rest
