2021 Figgins Figlia, Walla Walla

97 Points – International Wine Review: The captivating 2021 Figlia from Figgins, a delightful blend of Petit Verdot and Merlot, presents a striking dark opaque blue-purple core with a blood-tinted rim. Its richness and luxury extend from the nose to the palate, offering a symphony of dark fruits, bramble, pink peppercorn, dusty herbs, wet earth, and sweet spice. The interplay of crunchy yet balanced tannins and delightful acidity leads to an earthy and spice-driven finish. A wine that promises to blossom even more by 2025. Highly recommended and editors choice.

96 Points – James Suckling: A blend of opposites among Bordeaux grape varieties, this melange of merlot and petit verdot gives the plummy generosity of the former and the firm texture and dark chocolate of the latter. Its well-structured in tannins, deep in fruit flavors and able to age well for several years. Drink now or hold.
