Wine Review: This opaque and onyx colored red blend from Washington State opens with an appealing mild blueberry bouquet with hints of strawberry licorice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very well balanced and super smooth. The flavor profile is a mineral infused black cherry with notes of mild black currant and gentle black licorice. The finish is dry and its fine tannins and mineral based flavors drift away nicely. This wine was built for filet mignon and should be consumed over the next few years. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2009 Pirouette offers vibrant aromas of black cherry, violets, and incense that leap from the glass. Ripe currant flavors, hints of black olive, roasted coffee bean and vanilla nuances provide layers of depth, with excellent structure and polished tannins contributing to its lengthy finish.
