Throughout the history of Washington wine, the Figgins family has been known for producing wines that have proven themselves on the world’s stage. They are known for starting Leonetti Cellar in 1977, one of the most venerated wineries in the Walla Walla Valley and also produce wine under their family name, FIGGINS.

Take home the opportunity to enjoy creations from the Figgins family across three vintages with a total of two magnums from Leonetti Cellar, one 3 liter bottle from FIGGINS and a spot on the closed Leonetti Cellar Mailing List.

First, from Leonetti Cellar, two etched and hand-painted 1.5 liter bottles: one 1.5 liter of 2013 Merlot and one 1.5 liter of 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. Also included is a spot on the mailing list, allowing you to bypass a four year wait and obtain the ability to purchase an annual allocation from Leonetti.

Secondly, an offering of something new with old-world traditions, one etched and hand-painted 3 liter bottle of FIGGINS 2011 Estate Red wine. This is the third vintage from FIGGINS – a wine born from a vision to transform a phenomenal vineyard location into a single-site, estate grown, Bordeaux varietal blend that complements the wines Chris crafts at Leonetti.
