2012 Long Shadows Cabernet Sauvignon Feather - 93+ PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo 250"Deep ruby-red. Pure, varietally accurate aromas and flavors of cassis, bitter chocolate, violet and dried herbs. Wonderfully smooth, pliant and suave but with terrific penetration too; really fills the mouth with perfume. Spreads out horizontally to saturate the palate, with the huge, building tannins in perfect harmony with the wine's fruit. Splendid tannin management here. - Stephen Tanzer."

2012 Long Shadows Cabernet Sauvignon Feather - 94 PTS - IWRep

international wine report logo"2012 Long Shadows 'Feather' is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made from esteemed winemaker Randy Dunn of Dunn Vineyards in Napa Valley. As this opens in the glass, it unleashes perfumed aromatics of fresh black cherry and dark fruits, as well as anise and oak on the intoxicating nose. Somewhat of a backwards wine, currently the palate is currently shut down with flavors of anise, black cherry, blackberry and moderate tannins and a brilliant acid backbone. Drink in 2017 until 2025, as this one needs time for the fruit to integrate and the tannins to mellow. The wine is reminiscent of the 2007 Feather, which took a few years to be fully expressive.(Best 2017-2025) - OB."

2014 Long Shadows Cabernet Sauvignon Feather - 93+ PTS - WA

wa93"Made by Napa Valley’s Randy Dunn, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Feather is going to reward those with patience. Clean and pure, with a straight, focused style, it has classic crème de cassis, crushed violets and graphite aromatics, medium to full-bodied richness and fine, polished tannin. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will shine over the following decade or more. - Jeb Dunnuck"
