karenabsi — Wed, 02 May 2012 17:59:55 +0000

Dense yet lively, this expressive red shows morello cherry, floral, licorice and mineral flavors supported by light, firm
tannins and fresh acidity. Mountain herb and smoke notes keep this from turning candied, but the sweet fruit lingers nicely. Drink now through 2016.

96 POINTS – Wine Enthusiast (Editor’s Choice)

Gilles Nicault, who oversees the Long Shadows portfolio, makes this pure Cabernet. If this had a Napa Valley label on it, it could sell for three times the price. The structure is full and fleshy, but with the vividly bright fruit that screams Washington State. Juicy acidity underscores the berries, cherries and plums; the generously applied new oak adds texture and layers of caramel, coconut and chocolate. A bottle that belongs with Washington’s (and California’s) best. ~ Paul Gregutt

93 POINTS – Wine Spectator

Polished, generous and seductive, offering a lovely mouthful of blackberry, plum and mineral flavors. Hints at herbs and spices as the finish wraps up with a deft balance. This has power and grace. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2017. ~ Harvey Steiman

08 Joseph Phelps Insignia Proprietary Red Wine $175.95

97 Points Robert Parker

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Insignia is a towering, statuesque wine bursting with blackberry jam, tar, spices, leather and licorice. It shows fabulous depth and richness backed up by serious, imposing tannins that suggest it has a long life. Ideally, the 2008 should be purchased by those who can be patient; it is not a wine for those seeking immediate gratification. The blend is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038. – Antonio Galloni

09 Doubleback Cabernet Walla Walla, WA $97.95

karenabsi — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:52:30 +0000

As with our previous vintages, the 2009 shows a beautiful deep ruby color in the glass. The nose evolves dramatically after a couple of hours.
Initially there are notes of dried fruits, strawberries and a hint of saddle leather. After about 90 minutes the aromas evolve and begin to show some high toned floral notes and red fruits. The juice is round and soft on the attack with nicely integrated tannins even in its youth. The ripe red fruit is balanced nicely by crisp acidity. With the deft touch of a true master, Chris Figgins captured the essence of this fantastic vintage in the 2009 Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon. Please open at least a couple of hours before enjoying to allow this
wine to show its true character.

Ensemble Cellars Walla Walla, WA #Five $38.95

karenabsi — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:41:04 +0000

Regular Price $48

Our fifth release continues our theme of spicy French Oak and rich cherry flavors framed by well integrated tannins in the Margaux style. This release blends the best of three vintages:
21% 2006, 58% 2007, 21% 2008

Ten different “blocks” of fruit were used to produce this blend, from the following vineyards:
Lodmell, Sagemoor, Weinbau, Dubrul, Blue Mt., WWCC, Red Mountain

An enticing blend of exotic spice and dark cherries teases the nose. A smooth mouth feel leads to rich dark cherry flavors and layers of complexity. The trademark juniper notes and spicy French Oak come through clearly. Well balanced with fine tannins and an exceptionally long finish. This wine has exceptional aging potential (10 years ++).

Extremely limited, 421 cases produced.

94 points The Wine Advocate

The flagship wine, the 2008 Gemstone (100% Cabernet Sauvignon even though it is a proprietary red) is a flamboyant, opulent, medium to full-bodied effort revealing stunning concentration, purity and balance. Aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, it reveals elegance, perfume and richness along with a layered mouthfeel. Already drinking well, it should evolve for 15 or more years.” Robert Parker
