The 2009 vintage was no exception, producing some great wines that balance concentration of fruit with intense, complex flavors and just the right amount of acidity for aging. I think the 2009 Pirouette exemplifies all of these characteristics."   2008 Vintage 98 points Cellar Selection "A stunning Pirouette. Full and magnificently rich, it is loaded with dense and thrilling fruit flavors of black cherry and cassis. A streak of iron and a hint of citrus keep the wine evolving through a long, beautifully balanced finish. Cellar Selection." - Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 12 Past Vintage Scores 2008 Pirouette 98 points, Wine Enthusiast 2007 Pirouette 93+ points, Wine Advocate 2006 Pirouette 93 points, Wine Spectator 2005 Pirouette 92 points, Wine Enthusiast 2004 Pirouette 93 points, Wine Advocate 2003 Pirouette 93 points, Wine Advocate   Dear %%FIRST%%, We are excited to introduce our 2009 Pirouette, which we just learned will receive a 95 point score and was named "Cellar Selection" in the December issue of Wine Enthusiast magazine!

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. Philippe Melka was named one of the top nine winemakers in the world by Robert Parker and has extensive experience in Bordeaux (Haut-Brion and Pétrus) and throughout the Napa Valley (Dominus, Bryant Family, Hundred Acre, Vineyard 29, Métisse and CJ wines). Agustin Huneeus, Sr. began his career as CEO of Concha y Toro in Chile, before heading Seagram's worldwide operations and transforming Franciscan Estates. Today he owns Quintessa estate winery in Rutherford, California.
