Philippe Melka, named one of the top nine winemakers in the world by Robert Parker, drew on small lots from Washington State's finest vineyards to craft this red blend. Hand-harvested Cabernet was fermented in 400L French oak barrels, gently rolled throughout fermentation to integrate the oak with refined dark fruit and give the wine its silky mouthfeel; the balance fermented in stainless steel, with select lots given longer skin contact for color and mid-palate. The finished wine aged 22 months in French oak (80% new) before bottling unfiltered and unfined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2021 Pirouette is Philippe Melka's take on Washington State Bordeaux varieties, and it's based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec. Ripe black and blue fruits, leafy herbs, violets, tobacco, and a kiss of some chocolaty oak all emerge from this beauty, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a broad, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a stunning finish. It certainly makes the most of the vintage and it's up with the crème de la crème of this vintage.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"timelesswinesdirect.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67600333406362,"sku":"W0EE864119CSM","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/longshadows_pirouette_meritage_hq_label_75a664c1-735c-4536-80f8-d1018a1d4237.jpg?v=1790661653","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/long-shadows-pirouette-meritage-2021","provider":"timelesswinesdirect.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
