Figgins Estate Red Wine 2021 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Figgins Family Wine Estates produces this Bordeaux blend from their vineyard in Walla Walla Valley, Washington. The 2021 combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot into a full-bodied red built for the table and the cellar alike.
The wine opens with dusty florals and wild berries, then reveals layers of ripe blackberry and tart raspberry beneath hints of camphor and white smoke. The mouthfeel is silken, with crystalline tannins that give the wine a youthful tension and grip. Dark plum and blackberry jus meet oak essences and brown baking spices, while succulent dark cherries and black raspberries add juicy depth. The finish is dramatically long, staining the palate with salted licorice and lingering floral concentration that speaks to careful extraction and oak aging (22 months in roughly 60% new French oak). This is a brooding, intense vintage with genuine balance and architecture for evolution in bottle. Decanting is recommended before service, particularly if you're pairing it with flame-kissed meats.

Expert Reviews
Dusty and floral, the 2021 Red Wine Estate slowly opens in the glass with a mix of wild berries and dried violets elevated by hints of camphor and white smoke. This is silken in feel, with depths of ripe blackberry and contrasting tart raspberry adding tension as crystalline tannins form a youthful nerve toward the close. The 2021 excels through the finish, dramatically long and staining. It leaves notes of salted licorice and a liquid floral concentration that lingers on and on. This is a youthfully intense and brooding vintage for the FIGGINS Estate Red, yet it has all the balance for a long and fruitful evolution. This site has quickly emerged as one of the Grand Crus of Washington State.
The 2021 Estate Red Wine from the Figgins Estate vineyard is a big, generous and inky blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. With 14.5% alcohol, this wine impresses with a complex and layered profile, offering juicy plum and blackberry jus, accompanied by oak essences and brown baking spices. It's full-bodied, indulgent and juicy, showcasing succulent dark cherries and black raspberries with elegance and grace. The long-lingering finish makes it food friendly, and it has me craving flame-kissed steaks and chops. This red blend is set for release in the summer of 2024. Mark your calendar because this will be an instant success upon release and will further reward those who cellar this beauty. Decanting is recommended. Bravo! The wine aged for 22 months in almost 60% new French oak. Nearly 19,000 bottles produced.
A Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot blend from the Figgins estate vineyard in the Northeastern part of the Walla Valley. Aromatically classy with currant and dusty raspberries. The palate shows ample tannin, with black liquorice and graphite minerality: savoury herbs and dried mint.
