Not All Heroes Wear Capes(Merlot)
Washington State proving it is considerably more interesting than the world gives it credit for
Washington State has been making genuinely world-class wine for decades. The world has been slow to notice. These four bottles are part of a long-overdue correction.
The Columbia Valley and Walla Walla are home to some of the Pacific Northwest’s most serious producers — people making Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and red blends that hold their own against anything California or France can offer at similar prices. This pack crosses the Columbia River into Washington for a serious Long Shadows Cabernet, a Walla Walla Grenache from one of the state’s most celebrated producers, a charming everyday red that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and an Oregon Pinot from the Angela Estate that bridges the two states beautifully. The Northwest in four bottles, without the postcode premium.
The Bottles
Cliff Creek Cellars 2022 Red Red Wine
Southern Oregon · Red Blend · 2022 · Cliff Creek Cellars · Start here — no ceremony required
Named with admirable honesty. Exactly what it says it is, and entirely glad about it.
There is something deeply refreshing about a wine that doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is. Red Red Wine from Cliff Creek Cellars in Southern Oregon is a generous, fruit-forward red blend made for immediate pleasure — ripe berry, warm spice and a smooth approachability that makes it the ideal opening act for an evening that gets progressively more serious. Pour it without fanfare. Drink it without guilt. Let it do what it does: make everyone in the room comfortable before the more demanding bottles arrive.
Angela Estate 2018 Savannah Ridge Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley · Oregon · Single Vineyard Pinot Noir · 2018 · Angela Estate
The Oregon ambassador in a Washington pack — and entirely at home in the company.
Angela Estate farms the Savannah Ridge vineyard in the Willamette Valley with the kind of obsessive attention to site that produces wines of genuine character. Seven years of bottle age has done beautiful things to the 2018 — a warm vintage that gave the wine generosity and depth without sacrificing the cool-climate elegance that makes Oregon Pinot so distinctive. Dark cherry, sandalwood, dried rose and a silky texture that bridges effortlessly between the easy-drinking opener and the more structured Washington bottles that follow. The most Burgundian bottle in this particular pack, and none the worse for it.
K Vintners 2017 The Boy Walla Walla Valley Grenache
Walla Walla Valley · Washington · Grenache · 2017 · K Vintners · Charles Smith
Charles Smith doing something brilliant with a grape the rest of Washington largely ignores.
Charles Smith is one of Washington State’s most celebrated and eccentric winemakers — a former rock band manager who arrived in Walla Walla in 1999, fell in love with the terroir and proceeded to make some of the Pacific Northwest’s most compelling wines under multiple labels. The Boy is Grenache — a variety that thrives in Walla Walla’s basalt-influenced soils with a warmth and aromatics it rarely achieves elsewhere in Washington. Perfumed, lively and deceptively structured: raspberry, dried herbs, iron and a spice-driven complexity that puts it firmly in the Southern Rhône conversation. The most surprising bottle in the pack and the one most likely to start an argument about whether Washington should be making more of this grape. The answer is yes.
Long Shadows 2020 Feather Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley · Washington · Cabernet Sauvignon · 2020 · Long Shadows Vintners · Finish here
The Washington Cab that closes the case for the entire state. Elegantly, and without raising its voice.
Long Shadows was founded by Allen Shoup — the legendary former CEO of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates — with a simple premise: bring internationally acclaimed winemakers to Washington’s extraordinary Columbia Valley fruit and see what happens. The Feather is their Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is a genuinely beautiful wine: structured and serious in the way that Columbia Valley Cab can be when it’s handled with care, with dark cassis, cedar, graphite and a refinement that is entirely its own rather than borrowed from Napa or Bordeaux. This is Washington making a case for itself on its own terms — which is the only case worth making. Decant 45 minutes before serving and let it have the final word.
