Jeb Dunnuck

““The 2019 Pirouette is a mix of 56% Cab, 33% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot. Currants, spicy oak, burning embers, and smoked tobacco are just some of its nuances, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building, chalky tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It needs 3-4 years in the cellar, but it’s terrific.” 94+ Points”

Vinous

“"The 2019 Pirouette is dark and spicy in the glass, with black raspberry, dusty rose and hints of mocha forming its bouquet. Its textures are something to behold, nearly velvety in feel, with potent red and black fruits accentuated by notes of baking spice and dark chocolate. The Pirouette finishes structured and long, leaving primary concentration and youthfully grippy tannins to linger. The 2019 will require patience to show its best. It’s a blend of Red Mountain Cabernet (56%), along with 33% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot.””

Wine Advocate

““Composed of just over 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with 33% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Pirouette starts with a firm backbone of fresh dark red and black fruit tones that waft with dusty florals and succulent oak spices. Full-bodied and with layers of juicy plums, blackberry jus, vanilla and cardamom madeleines, the palate reveals a balanced structure, succulent acidity and fine-grained tannins. The wine glides to a refined and long-lingering finish and will continue to drink well and remain food-friendly for over two decades. Just over 30,000 bottles were filled after the wine rested for just under two years in all French oak, 85% new. Give it a try!””

About This Wine

2019 PIROUETTE COLUMBIA VALLEY RED Celebrating 20 years, Long Shadows Winery is a project by Washington wine icon Allen Shoup, following his visionary career building Chateau Ste Michelle and its affiliate brands to international recognition. Allen retired from Chateau Ste Michelle in 2002 to dedicate himself to his new brand that builds upon the knowledge of the world's foremost winemakers, championing Washington wines by enlisting renowned international vintners. Philippe Melka and Agustin Huneeus, Sr. collaborated to craft the 2019 Pirouette, melding Old-World winemaking techniques with cutting-edge New World technology to create this thrilling Bordeaux-style blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. This wine's pedigree alone is a satisfaction guarantee, and combined with a fantastic vintage; it is simply magnificent. WINERY NOTES: A deeply colored, layered wine with lush character, the 2019 Pirouette offers ripe, juicy plum aromas mingled with subtle notes of sweet spice and savory, dark fruit. Mouth-filling, wonderfully elegant, and powerful on the palate, with firm, refined tannins that lead to a polished finish. A hint of rich dark chocolate lingers.
