Long Shadows Vintners, based in Walla Walla, Washington, was founded in 2002 to pursue a collaborative winemaking model that brings renowned international vintners to Washington’s Columbia Valley. Each partnering vintner works with founder Allen Shoup and resident winemaker Gilles Nicault on a distinct program to produce a single best‑of‑type wine under a unique label, resulting in a diverse portfolio that includes Pedestal Merlot, Sequel Syrah, Poet’s Leap Riesling, Pirouette, Chester‑Kidder, Feather, and Saggi. The venture aims to highlight the viticultural strengths of the Columbia Valley and reflect both global expertise and local terroir. The company serves wine enthusiasts and commercial markets seeking premium, label‑specific wines crafted through international collaboration, positioning itself as a recognized player in the Pacific Northwest’s wine industry. It has earned industry recognition, including a top tasting room distinction and, in 2018, being named Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year by Wine Press Northwest. In January 2026, Colin Cornett was promoted to Vice President of Sales, signaling ongoing leadership development within the organization.
