Here is the dazzling 2022 ‘Figlia’ by Chris Figgins.

FIGGINS

January 25, 2025

I am always enamored by the great wines of Washington State. While I adore top Cabernet, I always have an affinity for something unique that is made beautifully. Case in point the FIGGINS ‘Figlia’ which is a world-class blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot from the high elevation FIGGINS estate vineyard. For my palate this is the finest PV being made in the state right now. It is wonderfully herbal, inky and concentrated, jam-packed with blue fruits.

Last year I did a vertical of these wines and was blown away with how well they are aging. They are remarkably stable and will last for decades. 2022 was not the easiest vintage for red wines. It was a vintage that had a miraculous warm fall that essentially saved the vintage. The 2022 FIGGINS ‘Figlia’ (OB, 96) is a world-class wine that has great depth, concentration and poise. Learn more about these fantastic wines at figginswine.com. Here are my reviews of the new 2022 FIGGINS ‘Figlia’ wine.

2022 FIGGINS ‘Figlia’ Red Wine- Another beautiful release of this wine, the 2022 ‘Figlia’ is a spellbinding amalgamation of equal parts Merlot and Petit Verdot. Over the years I have been enamored by the Petit Verdot coming from the Figgins Estate Vineyard. Simply put, this has to be the finest PV that I taste in Washington State. Stored in a very small portion of new French oak barrels (only 11% down from 26% in the ’21) this opens with green bell pepper, Turkish coffee and violet florals that mingle well with Black Forest Cake tones on the nose. The palate is soft, round and generous, as the seamless texture mingles brilliantly with a generous core of black and blue fruits. Showing good nerve from this slightly cooler vintage, there is not a wine quite like this in the Pacific Northwest. Enjoy now and over the next twenty years. Give this at least an hour in the decanter if savoring now. Drink 2025-2045- 96
