Michelle, on an audacious idea: invite a different world-renowned winemaker to craft each wine in the range, working alongside resident director of winemaking Gilles Nicault, and let each one \"cast their own shadow\" over a single Washington bottling. The result is a small collection of \"best of type\" wines that pair global star power with genuine Columbia Valley provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCymbal is one of the wines made under Gilles Nicault's direction — Long Shadows' director of winemaking and viticulture since 2002, and Seattle magazine's Washington State Winemaker of the Year in 2016. Trained in the south of France and seasoned in the Côtes du Rhône, Provence and Champagne before settling in Washington in 1994, Nicault brings the same rigour the range applies to its guest-winemaker reds to this fresh, everyday white.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Long Shadows","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57879541744003,"sku":"LSW20324","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/LongShadowsCymbal.png?v=1777377153","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/long-shadows-cymbal-sauvignon-blanc-2024","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
