Nine Hats 2007 Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $25

Nine Hats is a recently-introduced second wine from Long Shadows. Clearly this is great juice, though it is, inevitably, a bit of a mishmash blend. Tannins are a little rough, but as a $25 red this has plenty of high-priced flavor. — P.G. (12/31/2010)

Online Exclusive

A Bordeaux-style blend from the extra barrels in the multi-wine Long Shadows lineup, this nicely proportioned wine includes 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and smaller amounts of Cab Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.

Nine Hats 2008 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $25

The second label for the Long Shadows group, this lightly spiced Syrah is built upon a solid foundation of ripe fruit: blueberries and black cherries. There is a pleasing subtext of fresh earth, and a balanced, light finish. — P.G. (4/1/2012)

Nine Hats 2008 Sangiovese (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $25

It’s safe to assume that the Sangiovese in this wine was originally intended for Long Shadows super Tuscan Saggi red. Classy fruit is in the forefront, bright and high toned, with sweet cherry notes. A smooth midpalate extends into a pleasing finish that’s balanced and silky, with medium length. — P.G. (4/1/2012)
