| Description: Varietal: Bordeaux Style. Cabernet Sauvignon 35%, Merlot 31%, Cabernet Franc 27%, Malbec 5%, Petite Verdot 2% Both appellations are very distinct but equally complimentary. Red Mountain produces big wines which are highly structured with firm tannins whereas Del Rio Vineyard yields wines that are very fragrant, plush and softer in texture. By combining the two, we have achieved a wine that is rich, vibrant, and uniquely Northwest. Aromas of cassis and plum are off-set with notes of tar, chocolate and fig. More cassis and plum follow through to the pallet accompanied by ripe blackberry, lush cherries and nuances of pipe tobacco. A sweet entry is well balanced with juicy acids and supported by velvety tannins, giving the impression of an intensely ripe wine with a lingering richness. Appelation: Rogue River (OR), Red Mountain (WA)Vineyards: Del Rio - 70% (OR), Ciel du Cheval - 30% (WA) PH: 3.6 Total Acidity: 0.63 grams/liter Cases Produced: 492

I have had 3 bottles of this wine now. The first was at a wine tasting that the Sooke harbour house held in September. This long shadow wine was so fantastic that I have recently picked up some other long shadow project wines.
Just an amazing fruit and complex rich spice aroma that makes you want to take a long pull of this exisite wine. |
