the newest vintage of long shadows pirouette is 57% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 14% syrah, 5% malbec and 4% cab franc. combined with the benefits of a stellar vintage, this is substantial, textural and  complex. the toasty new oak flavors are more than matched by rich layers of berries, cassis and black cherries. it glides into a seductive midpalate, adding flavors of dusty cocoa, espresso liqueur and toasted grain. it would show quite well against california meritage-style wines costing twice as much.
