Long Shadows Vintners Feather Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Long Shadows Vintners Feather Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 pours a deep, opaque, and highly concentrated dark ruby-purple color into the glass. Crafted under the guidance of legendary Napa Valley winemaker Randy Dunn, this world-class Columbia Valley classic opens with a highly expressive and complex nose. Rich aromas of blackcurrants, ripe black cherries, and dried currants seamlessly intertwine with savory hints of meat on the grill, tobacco leaf, cigar box, graphite, and leather. On the palate, this full-bodied red wine delivers a powerful yet elegant, streamlined richness. A concentrated core of dark red and black forest fruits is masterfully balanced by a spine of fresh, mouthwatering acidity and robust, fine-grained, yet velvety tannins. Having spent 22 months maturing in fine French oak barrels, it culminates in a remarkably long, structured, and persistent finish showing immense purity, balance, and cellaring longevity.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with grilled prime ribeye steak with truffle butter, slow-roasted rosemary lamb shanks, or aged hard cheeses like sharp white Cheddar.

Notes of ripe blackcurrants, cherry chocolate, mocha, crushed walnuts and stones. Medium- to full-bodied with a meaty structure and a dense array of velvety tannins expanding on the palate, carrying the dark fruit through the lingering, chocolatey finish. Very attractive and well made.
