Long Shadows Vintners

Long Shadows Vintners was founded in 2002 by Washington wine visionary Allen Shoup, who as President and CEO of Chateau Ste. Michelle from 1984-2000 forged partnerships with internationally acclaimed vintners Piero Antinori (Col Solare) and Dr. Ernst Loosen (Eroica Riesling). Long Shadows Vintners now builds upon those successes by bringing some of the worlds most celebrated winemakers from the finest wine regions around the globe to Washington in order to create world class wines that showcase the viticultural excellence of Washington States Columbia Valley. Each vintner partners individually with Shoup and resident winemaker Gilles Nicault on a distinct winemaking program to produce a single best of type wine under a unique label. These include: Pedestal Merlot by Michel Rolland (international consultant and owner Le Bon Pasteur, Pomerol); Sequel Syrah by John Duval (formerly of Penfolds Grange, South Australia); Poets Leap Riesling by Armin Diel (Schlossgut Diel, Nahe, Germany)...
