Washington Reds

Long Shadows Vintners

Pirouette Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Pours deep rich red. Initial mild dark fruit quickly changes to a quick burst of baking spices and cherries and then changes to a dryness of plums. Some soft tannins on the back. Love the changing layers. — 21 hours ago

Quilceda Creek

Washington Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Young wine. Opened and let breathe for about 2 hours before dinner. Paired with Greek food. Dark and brooding. Still a little tight but enjoyable — 2 months ago

Quilceda Creek

Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Very nice. Thought I detected a bit of cork taint initially but seemed to blow off. Sweet dark berries, chocolate cherries, violets, smoke, spice, very slight secondary notes, high octane but not hot. Not sure if it’ll develop much more — 2 months ago

Gold color. Smells of apples. Tastes of butter, apples, and toasted breadcrumbs. — 2 months ago

Leonetti Cellar

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

13-year-old Washington cab from this celebrated winery. Getting near the end of life in my estimation, took a while airing out to soften up a bit.# — 21 hours ago

Cayuse Vineyards

Cailloux Vineyard Syrah 2017

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.

This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier. Only 859 cases produced.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120.
