Long Shadows Feather Cab '21

Earning an impressive 94 points, this Columbia Valley Cabernet represents a collaboration between Washington legend Allen Shoup and Napa winemaker Randy Dunn. The 2021 vintage offers classic aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and graphite. The full-bodied palate is packed with flavors of dark cherry, espresso and dark chocolate, supported by firm but polished tannins. Aged 20 months in French oak (60% new), it has the structure to age gracefully for 10+ years but is surprisingly approachable now. The finish lasts nearly a minute, with lingering notes of vanilla and crushed rock. Decant 1-2 hours and pair with prime rib or wild mushroom dishes.
