the subject. Ken'swineguide dot Com a terrific site you should

give as gifts. Since tis the season.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, every year, I give you two super premium wines
that I discovered in our fall tastings. And we'll start
in Washington State where we interviewed Chris Figgins, this summer
winemaker and co owner of Leonette Sellers. But the wine
I'm going to tell you abouts from his other winery
and it's called Figgins twenty twenty one Figgins State Red
ninety five dollars. It's awesome. Listeners will find it to
be full body, very smooth and seamless. It's got a
(00:41):
complex blend of BlackBerry and graphite flavors and there are
some notes of black cherry and u long tea. There's
lots of layers to this wine. You find this wine
online and to make a great gift for the wine
lover in your life.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'll bet there's another gift in store for someone.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, this one has a cool story behind it. It's
the more. It's in twenty twenty two loam Cabernets one
hundred dollars, but it comes from a mixture of three
different soils, Pastiitas, Soother and Klow. Everything else is the
same about these wines except for the soils. So this
is the blend. And if you buy the blend and
you really love it, and we scored it ninety six points,
it's full bodied, well balanced, very smooth and opulent dusty tannets.
(01:17):
It's really impressive. Whoever guys this gem is going to
want to try the other three. They make one from
each of the different soil types. Join the club. You
can try the other three as well, but our break gift.
