Leonetti Old Block Vineyard
The Enduring Grace of the Valley’s First Vines
As the oldest vineyard in Walla Walla Valley, this tiny block next to the winery produces some of the most distinctive Merlot. Its unique aromas of crushed fresh flowers and petrol and beautifully delicate texture reflect the foundation of Onyx silt loam soil on which it grows. The family is deeply honored to steward this heritage vineyard.
