On Friday, May 8, James did a Zoom tasting with Chris Figgins, head winemaker for Leonetti Cellar and Figgins Family Wine Estates in Washington State. It was an instructive and fun session. Figgins is one of Washington’s most celebrated winemakers. He is impressed with the 2018 vintage, comparing it to the excellent 2012, and has taken to bottling single-varietal wine. He believes single-vineyard designated wines are the way forward. Watch the video to see Figgins explain why he started making single-vineyard wines, with an interesting tidbit about the name behind Leonetti’s Holy Roller Vineyard.
