Leighton thinks of his own creations as people. The grassy 2006 Feral sauvignon blanc he likens to a woman in her 20s. "When she walks down the street she wouldn't turn heads, but if someone stared at her they would say, 'Oh my God, she's really gorgeous.'" The similarly subtle Big Papa cabernet sauvignon, meanwhile, is rambunctious and “has a certain power," says Leighton, "and he's smart. But his intelligence isn't always apparent until you sit back and get to know him."
