Tasting Notes:
PDFIn the glass, the 2021 Pirouette presents a strikingly deep and alluring color. Its bouquet is a harmonious blend of vibrant aromas, including ripe plums, cassis, violets, grilled herbs, and incense. On the palate, this wine reveals its full-bodied character, with a luxurious texture and sturdy backbone. Dark fruit flavors and refined tannins provide a wonderful balance of opulence and elegance. The finish is a testament to its sophistication, as the lingering notes of dark chocolate elegantly round off each sip, leaving a lasting impression.
Vineyards
A selection of top Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and a small amount of Stone Tree Vineyard Cabernet give Pirouette structure and ripe fruit character. Layered complexity builds with the addition of Red Mountain Merlot, bringing suppleness and texture. Petit Verdot from Dionysus Vineyard lends cassis, and finally, a small amount of Weinbau Vineyard Malbec contributes a dark, spicy note to the finished wine.
