Feather is 100% Cabernet. This is made in coordination with Randy Dunn. On the nose, dark, lightly spiced currants. Black oil, loamy soils, black licorice and fresh floral bouquet. On the palate, the mouthfeel is thick & rich. There's a good presence of wood shaving. Rich, ripe blackberries, dark cherries, candied black plum, plum, black raspberries, loamy soils, dark rich moist earth, leather, tobacco, spice-box, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, vanilla, black licorice, violets and fresh red florals. Acidity is round and mouthwatering. The structure is big. The tension perfect as is the balance of fruit and earth. This is definitely a Parker wine. It's so easy to drink young, yet will cellar 10-15 years nicely. Photos of the tasting rooms hand blown glass lighting...lit up. The Feather artwork and the famous Boushey vineyard in Yakima Valley

100% Cab. Winemaker is Randy Dunn. Drinking very well now but depth lacking now likely will come with age. 92 points.

This surprised me. I don’t usually love WA fruit. I love this!

Made by Randy Dunn with Washington state grapes! Old world style and not at all a Napa fruit bomb! Quite structured but still a bit tannic.. needs more time in the bottle or a 1-2 hour decant! It got better and opened up more as the evening went on!

2014 vintage. A deep cherry & leather nose with flavors that come through. Finishes with hints of chocolate. Big & complex!

Our first 2014 vintage. Could use some more aging. Subtle nose with big flavor. Cherry and licorice with a smooth finish.
