From the time Chris Figgin's great grandparents arrived in Walla Walla in 1902, his family has achieved everything through meticulous hard work. In fact, the silhouette on the label of Toil Oregon is from a photo of his Great Uncle William Leonetti and his father planting the first Leonetti Vineyard in 1974.
Perhaps the biggest challenge of this endeavor is producing a wine that is the same level of quality that they have been producing at Leonetti Cellar for 40 years. It requires new learning, infinite patience, dedicated diligence, and a willingness to consistently toil in pursuit of perfection.
For many years, Chris Figgins had been enjoying Pinot Noir from around the world. He fell in love with how this varietal, especially from Willamette Valley, is a perfect complement to the dense, dark, masculine wines produced in the Walla Walla Valley. At its finest, Pinot Noir has such a lovely delicacy, perfume, and levity.
