Long Shadow Vintners Feather Cabernet

Long Shadows Vintners, founded in 2002 by Washington wine pioneer Allen Shoup, unites globally renowned winemakers to craft ultra‑premium wines in the Columbia Valley. Each collaborates on a signature “best‑of‑type” estate wine. Led by winemaking director Gilles Nicault, Long Shadows has become a benchmark for Washington quality.

The 2021 Feather Cabernet Sauvignon from Long Shadows Vintners is a hedonistic and elegant expression of Washington Cabernet. It bursts with aromas of cassis, blueberry, aniseed, lavender, and chocolate, evolving into lush, concentrated flavors on the full-bodied palate, framed by silky tannins and fresh acidity. James Suckling praises its heady, minty lift, dense black currant flavors, and fine-grained tannins, suggesting this robust yet refined wine will age gracefully. Meanwhile, Vinous highlights its perfumed cascade of red berries, dusty rose, dark chocolate, and cola, all polished with creamy texture and a spicy, lingering finish
