Nose

A wine with great depth of color, our ’98 Reserve has a nose of rich black fruits, creme brulee, spice, and cream, while maintaining varietal purity.

Palate

The palate is ultra-rich and mouth-filling, with flavors of black fruits and integrated wood spice. The incredibly long finish is backed by delicious fine-grained, soft tannins, and integrated toasty oak.

Growing Conditions

The 1998 vintage was a winemaker's dream in the Walla Walla Valley. The year was very warm with perfect conditions from bloom to harvest.

Winemaking

Yields were naturally low and resulted in wines of incredible intensity, color, and fruit.

This wine will likely be remembered as one of the finest Leonetti’s produced to date.
