Pirouette

96 Points - Jeb Dunnick

"The 2017 Pirouette checks in as 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 13% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot. Gorgeous crème de cassis, crushed flowers, white chocolate, and espresso notes all give way to a full-bodied, thrillingly textured, layered red that has terrific tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It can be drunk today but will develop additional complexity with 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for two decades or more."

Phillippe Melka, named one of the top wine makers in the world by Robert Parker, used small lots from Washington State's finest vineyards to craft this enticing red blend.
