Feather Vintage Select

The 2015 Feather Vintage Select Reserve is a late release reserve bottling from the domaine and should be released in the next year or two. Opening with a dark-fruited core of generous blackberry, blackcurrant and dark plum aromas, the nose has a persistent depth that is truly special. On the palate, the wine turns more red fruited and tart, with a sturdy expression of oak tones appearing later on. The finish is focused, fresh and ripe, lingering with the rich and dense core of fruit that is still young. Only 122 cases were selected to receive the Feather Vintage Selection Reserve designation, and it will go quickly when it's officially released.

The 2015 Feather Vintage Select is made by Randy Dunn and is all Cabernet Sauvignon aged in new barrels. This rocking effort has tons of dark, cassis and currant styled fruits interwoven with notes of chocolate, graphite, and lead pencil-like aromas and flavors. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, it stays beautifully balanced, has ripe tannins, and is a straight-up gorgeous Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink it any time over the coming two decades.
