Cakebread Tasting This Weekend!

2006 Long Shadows Pirouette 93 Points Wine Enthusiast 54%Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Petite Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Syrah "Concentrated and focused, it is expressive right out of the bottle, supple and clearly defined. Floral, darkly fruited, bursting with black cherry and cassis, detailed with licorice and stone, this excellent wine will be difficult to put away for aging, but well worth the effort."
2005 Long Shadows Chester-Kidder 93 Points Wine Advocate 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah, 5% Merlot "Opaque purple-colored, it reveals an alluring nose of brooding black fruit, pencil lead, mineral, and spice box. Round and ripe on the palate, it borders on opulence while concealing enough tannin to support another 6-8 years of cellaring. The sweet, savory fruit carries through into the lengthy finish."
2007 Long Shadows Saggi 91 Points Wine Advocate 43% Sangiovese, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Syrah "... It was aged for 18 months in 55% new French oak. Deep purple colored, it displays an expressive perfume of cedar, Asian spices, black cherry, and cassis. Supple and round on the palate, this savory offering has excellent volume, plenty of concentration, and enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. It will drink nicely for the next 8-10 years."
2006 Sequel Syrah 93 Points Wine Advocate 96% Syrah 4% Cabernet Sauvignon "Aromas of cedar, smoke, game, bacon, and violets are alluring while leading to a round, layered, smooth-textured, full-bodied wine with several years of aging potential."
2006 Feather Cabernet Sauvignon 93 Points Wine Advocate 100% Cabernet Sauvignon "The wine was sourced from several prime vineyards and aged for 22 months in new French oak. The nose gives up aromas of toasty oak, scorched earth, Asian spices, black currant, and blackberry. Firm and structured yet elegant on the palate, there are layers of fruit and enough tannin to evolve for another 4-6 years."
2006 Pedestal Merlot 94 Points Wine Advocate 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot "... reveals a fragrant nose of sandalwood, incense, sage, cinnamon, black cherry, and black currant. Elegant on the palate despite its ample size, it is loaded with succulent fruit set off by enough ripe tannin to support an additional 3-4 years of cellaring. It will deliver prime drinking from 2013 to 2027."
