2020 Long Shadows "Feather" Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($69.95) "World-class and devastatingly beautiful ... run, don't walk to add this to your cellar." — Wine Advocate Long Shadows, a pioneering venture in Washington, collaborates with globally acclaimed winemakers to produce collector-worthy wines. The project features luminaries like Philippe Melka, John Duval (of Penfolds fame), Michel Rolland, and the esteemed Randy Dunn, who crafted this Cabernet. Dunn, renowned for his robust, age-worthy Howell Mountain Cabernets, brings his expertise to the 2020 Feather. This wine exhibits the hallmarks of Dunn's style: power, structure, and intensity. Sourced from premier vineyards (Dionysus, Bacchus, and Sagemoor) across Walla Walla, Wahluke Slope, and Horse Heaven Hills, the wine matures for 22 months in 85% new French oak. This Cabernet stands out as the year's top selling Washington red. 2020 Long Shadows "Feather" Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($69.95) 98 points Wine Advocate: "Instantly impressive, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Feather opens to silky, fresh and fleshy dark red and black fruit tones with picturesque rich and ripe notions that sashay out of the glass with elegance, power and precision. Medium to full-bodied, the Cabernet shows incredible depth and breadth with succulent acidity and fine-grained tannins. This will have no trouble aging past its 20th birthday. World-class and devastatingly beautiful, the wine continues to somersault across the ever-evolving finish, and it will undoubtedly be well received upon its release in the fall later this year. Mark your calendar now, and run, don't walk to add this to your cellar. (AM)" (05/2023) 96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Blackcurrants, chalky minerality, and subtle floral notes all emerge from the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Feather, which is made by Randy Dunn and sourced from the Weinbau, Dionysus, Bacchus, Sagemoor, and The Benches vineyards. With medium to full-bodied richness as well as fine tannins, it's a more elegant, streamlined Cabernet than past vintages yet shines for its purity and balance. It's beautifully done and should have two decades of longevity." (06/2023)
