Figgins Figlia 2022
Meaning 'Daughter' in Italian, Figlia is the 'little sister' to Figgins Estate Red. Named after Chris Figgins' daughters, Raegan and Scarlett, the 2020 is the fifth release of Figlia. A deeply flavored blend of Petit Verdot and Merlot blend, Figlia has deep color to the rim. It sports a nose of vanilla cream soda, plum. fig jam and blueberry compote, spring garden flowers, and thyme. Silky, sultry, and broad on the palate with fine-grained tannin and crisp acidity on the finish. This wine is crafted to be more approachable in its youth than the Estate Red, with richness of flavor coupled with remarkable freshness.
100% estate bottled from the Figgins Estate Vineyard, aged 22 months in French oak barrels, only 865 cases produced. Drink now through 2034.
Pronunciation: "FEE-Lia"

Blackberries, dark fruit, tar, tobacco leaf and toast on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, tight and chewy tannins. Structured and flavorful with a deep core of dark fruit and some smoke. Bitter chocolate and black tea on the finish. Long. 50/50 Petit verdot and merlot. Try from 2023.

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. 1,603 cases made.
