It's the wine for serious Napa and Bordeaux Cabernet drinkers who want their reds built for the cellar rather than the cocktail hour, and its pedigree and presentation make it a standout gift for anyone who takes their Cabernet seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 Points - James Suckling (2022 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, cherry chocolate, mocha, crushed walnuts and wet earth.

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\u003eRandy Dunn is one of the most respected names in American Cabernet. He joined Caymus Vineyards in 1975 and, over a decade as winemaker, helped build the Special Selection bottling that would go on to be named Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year in 1989. In 1979 he struck out on his own, planting on Napa's cool, high-elevation Howell Mountain and becoming one of the AVA's founding vintners — building a reputation for dense, structured, age-worthy Cabernet made without regard for fashion. Dunn has never chased high alcohol or flashy scores; he's said plainly that he dislikes wines built to be sipped and spat rather than drunk with food, and keeps his own Cabernets built for the table and the cellar rather than the tasting room. Shoup sought him out specifically for Feather, betting that Dunn's cool-climate, food-first sensibility would translate naturally onto Washington fruit. The wine's name is a nod to something entirely personal: Randy Dunn's own collection of feathers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Long Shadows","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57881258623363,"sku":"LSW10921","price":92.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/LongShadowsFeather.png?v=1777377595","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/long-shadows-feather-cabernet-sauvignon-2022","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
