Sequel 2005 $55.00/$49.50
New Release for November 2007
Velvety and full-bodied, John Duval's blackberry and dark fruit driven Syrah is more old world Northern Rhone than Washington State "big red". Sweeter and riper black and blue fruit than the 2004 , the new Sequel took only a few moments after opening to impress.
Blackberry, toasted espresso bean, roasted meat, cinnamon spice, and white flowers show in the nose as an initial impression. Blackberry, black raspberry, and black currant fruit hold the center of a wine framed by fruit and oak derived tannins that smooth out and integrate with aeration. Decant for an hour or two if drinking this wine in the next year, or cellar to allow its potential complexity to develop.

Sequel 2004 $55.00/$49.50
Parker 93, Wine Spectator 92
This second vintage of Sequel is darkly-hued with cherry and cassis aromas to match. It is a focused Syrah loaded with black fruit, spice and a hint of vanilla across a supple frame. Give it time in the glass to fully reveal the wine’s layers of fruit and concentration.
Wine Advocate (Parker) 93 Points: "Purple / black in color, this superb Syrah offers grilled meat, bacon fat, game and wild blueberry aromas and flavors. On the palate the wine is spicy, layered, and plush with soft tannins and enough acidity to hold things together. " - September 2007
Sequel 2004 Magnum $124.95
Only four left.

Saggi 2005 $51.00/45.90
Saggi means "Wisdom" and is the name chosen by famed Italian winemaking father and son Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari for their Washington State version of a Super-Tuscan red, produced in partnership with Allen Shoup's LongShadows Winery in Walla Walla. This vintage is a blend of 45% Sangiovese, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah from the Columbia Valley.
A hint of sweetness introduces flavors of red raspberry and red cherry, accented by spiciness and a streak of white pepper in the finish. Fruit flavors dominate when first tasted, then darker notes of the fine-grained youthful tannins take over. A floral component accompanies the predominant raspberry fruit scents at first, then toasty oak and caramelized sugar scents mark this as a wine aged in new, toasty oak.

Speaking of Fielding Hills:
" I don't believe I have ever given
such rave reviews
to an entire lineup of wines
from a young winery."
