1/1. Cork snapped on opening. Seems ok though. Dense, opaque coloring with purplish ruby edges. Smells like black and purple fruits, earth and farmyard funk, violet, and graphite and crushed rocks. Medium body, acid, and finish, creamy, with flavors of dark fruits, chocolate, walnuts, and minerals. New world for sure, but tasty and well made.

Dark deep hue. Loved the nose after opening-- deep dark berry, earthy, sweet, delicious. Juice is terrific. Easy to drink with or without food. Luscious dark fruit, dark cherry, sweet tobacco, smooth. Great surprise!

This was a better bottle than the one I had a few months back. We decanted at lunch. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark fruit, leather, tea and a little spice leading to a moderately long finish.

(SEQUEL) Sequel Dear Friends, We look forward to the release of this wine every year, what’s been dubbed our state’s “baby Grange”. Produced by John Duval (the legendary figure behind 28 years at Penfolds, many of them as the chief winemaker for Grange) in collaboration with Allen Shoup’s Long Shadows project, Duval named this wine Sequel to commemorate his next progression with the Syrah grape. In his mind, the Columbia Valley and its patchwork of vineyards is a close approximation of the plots he used to create Grange - thus his eager excitement over the potential of this project. Needless to say, the 2007 Sequel is his best foot forward – it’s a definitive and refreshing New World wine that does not rely on heavy residual sugar for impact - rather, a mesh of animal, terroir, “dry” extract and deeply penetrating fruit that rings on the palate for a long, long time... A special example from our state that should age very well over the next 10-15 years: For more information on John Duval and this wine: http://bit.ly/l5WFc7 This parcel is directly from the winery cellar with impeccable provenance EXTREMELY LIMITED – hardly any of this wine has made its way to retail 2007 Sequel (Long Shadows/John Duval) - FIRST COME FIRST SERVED up to 12/person until we run out To order: nicki@garagistewine.com This parcel is set to arrive in a few weeks – it is not a long-term pre-arrival (please check OARS for local pick-up after June 20th).

Fair amount of sediment, so filter. Deep color. Nice dark fruit, and leather. Nice finish. Very enjoyable wine.
