The 2015 Pirouette Red Wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominated cuvee that includes 21% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. It spent 22 months in 75% new French oak. Blackcurrants, dark chocolate, crushed rock, and graphite notions all dominate this rich, opulent, beautifully concentrated, layered red. It has enough tannin to warrant short-term cellaring and is going to keep for 10-15+ years.

A 95pt. cabernet blend from none other than Philippe Melka. His first ever Washington state cab has been a hit since its first release. Philippe was introduced to proprietor Allen Shoup through Quintessa owner Agustin Huneeus Sr. and Allen convinced Melka to make his first forray out of the Napa scene. Shoup has put together a really unique project with a line of amazing wines each featuring an all-star winemaker from around the world. We got a small parcel of these magnums from the superb 2015 vintage and the wine stunning. If this wine said Napa Valley on the label it would cost 3 times the price. For lovers of top-notch Cabernet, this is a wine that should not be missed.
