8 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. ——P.G.(9/1/2011)—— 96

It’s a difficult challenge to blend six different grapes into a wine without sacrificing focus, but winemaker Rob Newsom has done a splendid job with this new vintage of Marie’s View. Roughly a third Cabernet and a third Syrah, which provide a potent core of deep red and black fruits, the wine is nuanced with layers of spice, leaf, toasted grain, loam and coffee grounds. Fine acids promise a long life. ——P.G.(11/1/2011)—— 93

This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Wallula vineyard, made by Gilles Nicault of Long Shadows. A tight, focused, pure, firm, classic Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers bucket loads of sweet cassis and cherry fruit, sculpted with crisp acids and polished tannins. A big, supple bottle that gracefully unwraps itself to show streaks of graphite, licorice, smoke and coffee; it could pass for a cult Cab from one of Napa’s great boutiques. ——P.G.(3/1/2010)—— 94

This blend is dusty, fragrant and loaded with exotic baking spices, cocoa and black fruits. A rich, supple and seductive wine with a silky mouthfeel. ——P.G.(3/1/2010)—— 92
