Tasting Notes:
PDFThe 2022 Pirouette is a bold, refined blend that balances power with elegance. Deep, concentrated aromas and flavors of cassis, black cherry and graphite lead to a richly textured palate, where dark fruit intertwines with notes of coffee, baking spice, and a hint of cigar box. Silky yet firm tannins lend structure, while well-integrated oak enhances the wine’s depth and complexity. The finish is long and lingering, echoing with generous dark fruit and spice.
Vineyards
A selection of top Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards provides Pirouette with its signature structure, depth, and dark fruit intensity. Red Mountain Merlot contributes plush texture and suppleness, while Petit Verdot from Dionysus Vineyard adds cassis and refined tannins. Weinbau Vineyard further enhances the wine's complexity to round out the blend beautifully.
