| Tasting notes |
| "93 out of 100....The last of the blends is the 2004 Pirouette. The featured winemakers are Agustin Huneeus Sr. and Philippe Melka. The wine is composed of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot, and 11% Syrah. The fruit was selected from vineyards encompassing five different AVAs with yields in the range of 1-2 tons per acre. The wine was aged for 21 months in French oak, 75% new. The expressive nose offers up pain grille, scorched earth, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a thick wine with silky tannins, superb depth and richness, and layers of flavor. It merits several years of cellaring and should drink well through 2037. In the context of what $55 will get you from Napa Valley or Bordeaux, this is a terrific value. Long Shadows is a winery begun by Alan Shoup, the long-time CEO of Stimson Lane and Chateau Ste.-Michelle. It is a consortium of seven different brands (labels), each with its own star winemaker who has a 25% share in the brand. The concept is that each is dedicated to producing a single Columbia Valley wine representing a ‘best of type’ that reflects the winemaker’s signature style." - WA
