More About Long Shadows Feather Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Feather represents a pinnacle of Washington State Cabernet, distinguished by its profound depth, meticulous craft, and vivid reflection of its origins. Far beyond a mere showcase of Columbia Valley terroir, this wine embodies a daring vision, uniting some of the world’s most skilled winemakers to create bottles of remarkable individuality. The story begins with Allen Shoup, once the guiding force behind Château Ste Michelle, who launched Long Shadows with an audacious goal: to bring together exceptional vintners, each lending their unique artistry to Washington’s finest grapes. Leading this innovative endeavor is Gilles Nicault, a French-born winemaker whose mastery ensures every vintage achieves its truest expression. Feather emerged from a partnership between the renowned Napa winemaker Randy Dunn and Gilles Nicault, resulting in a pure 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that remains a reference point for the varietal in Washington. The 2021 release strikes a seamless balance of strength and grace, shaped by the year’s richly concentrated fruit. It offers a Cabernet Sauvignon of poised structure, lush texture, and intricate layers—an elegant yet powerful wine that underscores Washington’s place among the world’s great wine regions. Winery Notes: "Dense and deeply colored in the glass, this bold, robust Cabernet offers enticing aromas and a lavish core of black fruits complemented by dried rosemary, ripe plum, earthy notes and oak spice. Lush and beautifully balanced on the mid-palate, structured tannins combine to provide a harmonious impression that stretches across a long, graceful finish."
