96pts James Suckling

Ripe plums, cocoa powder, walnuts and dried herbs on the nose of this dark-fruited red. Violets, too. It’s full-bodied, polished and structured, with firm and compact tannins, but it’s silky and velvety in texture. Very long, caressing finish. A blend of petit verdot and merlot. Best after 2027.

94pts Jeb Dunnuck

A proprietary blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot from Figgins Estate Vineyard, the 2022 Figlia is made to be approachable in its youth and is a screaming deal at its price point, full-bodied in currant, berry, and dried herb, with polished tannins and enough structure to go another 7 -10 years in bottle.

94pts Vinous

Mentholated freshness introduces the 2022 Figlia, as crushed blackberries and sage mix with cedar box and hints of dark chocolate. It is elegant and soothingly round with polished red and blue fruits that ride a wave of cool-toned acidity. A web of fine-grained tannins adds form as the 2022 Figlia tapers off long yet remarkably fresh, leaving a concentration of wild blueberry that lingers on and on.

92pts Wine Spectator

Precise and tightly focused, with sinewy black cherry, pencil shaving and tobacco accents that build tension and structure on the finish. Hands off for now. Petit Verdot and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2033.

Winemaker Notes

My favorite Figlia to date! Very dark crimson color. The bouquet opens with baking spices, cinnamon, ripe boysenberries, and follows with more subtle aromas of cranberry sauce and menthol. A wine of dimension that starts off with a sultry softness and expands into a full-bodied structure with rich notes of warm raspberry cobbler. The finish is silky, balanced, and full. Incredibly approachable today.
