2012 Leonetti Cellar Merlot Walla Walla Valley Walla Walla Valley (750ml)

"94 out of 100...The 2012 Merlot, which was already in bottle at the time of this tasting, offers an elegant, yet sexy style, with gorgeous black raspberry and creme de cassis fruit, toast, dried spices and licorice, with hints of background tobacco and green herbs, all emerging from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, plump, pure and layered, with a fabulous texture and a big finish, it’s a beautiful wine to drink over the coming decade or more." - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
