Here is the gorgeous 2017 Leonetti Cabernet.

Cellar Selection: 2017 Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon

April 5, 2024

It was a festive day of getting ready for a big Arsenal soccer match in London. I relaxed with friends at my hotel in eager anticipating of the match later that evening. Winemaker Chris Figgins is a massive Arsenal supporter like myself so I decided to bring with me on the trip, the 2017 Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon.

For my palate, 2017 was a really nice vintage for red wine. It might not have the massive flavor density or structure of the 2018s but it certainly was a more impressive vintage for reds than 2019. In some cases 2017 had some issues with wildfires but most 2017 reds I have tasted did not have any smoke impact.

Now about the wine, the 2017 Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon really needed about an hour of air to get fully going. That being said, do not be afraid to open this wine if you have it resting in your cellar. It is a hedonistic gem and is drinking marvelously now at the seven year mark. Here is my review of the cellar selection, the 2017 Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon and learn more at leonetticellar.com

2017 Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon- A beautiful wine to enjoy now, the 2017 Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon really needs about an hour of air before consuming. Once aroused, this is beautifully structured stuff with refined tannins that greet you. Sweet pipe tobacco, mocha, tar and dark currant notes all collide on the palate. Full-bodied and dense, with espresso ground , sagebrush and chocolate accents, this is a total stunner that will live on for at least another ten years. Drink 2024-2038- 96
