Leonetti Cellar 2017 Holy Roller Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
Cellar Selection
Coming from the winery's estate vineyard in the Rocks District, this wine is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Sangiovese. The aromas offer notes of cocoa, dark raspberry, plum, moist earth, cranberry and hints of savory herb. Plush, forward, plate-coating flavors follow. A lovely sense of structure holds it all together. Coffee notes linger on the finish. It's the most forward and approachable of the 2017 single-vineyard offerings but it still has plenty of life in front of it. Best from 2025 to 2032 with time beyond that. Sean P. Sullivan
