Tasting Notes:
PDFThe 2020 Pirouette is a big, refined wine with beautiful balance, offering concentrated color and flavors. Black cherry, sweet spice, plum, and hints of dark chocolate are lavishly integrated with silky tannins that leave a rich impression across a lengthy finish. Complete and seamless from beginning to end.
A selection of top Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and a small amount of old vine Cab from Sagemoor Vineyard give Pirouette its ripe and rich style. Merlot, also sourced from Red Mountain, adds suppleness to the mid-palate, with Cabernet Franc from Weinbau Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope lending elegant red fruit and a small amount of Weinbau Malbec, adding depth and spice to the final blend.
