Some Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) was co-fermented in the 2004 Sangiovese, which was produced entirely from estate vineyards (both Mill Creek Upland and Seven Hills Vineyards). Sporting a nose of sweet roses, plums, and black cherries, this medium to full-bodied wine is packed with dark cherries, blackberries, and candied cassis. An engaging, concentrated effort, it should be enjoyed over the next 5 years. Tel. (509) 525-1428; www.leonetticellar.com

Beautifully crafted, aromatic, high-toned but not over the top. Plummy, pretty cherry fruit, lightly spiced and showing a bit of chocolate as it breathes. In this freeze year the crop was reduced by two thirds; just 289 cases were produced. ——P.G.(10/1/2006)—— 91
