Nose

Aromas of burgundy petal petunias, flourless chocolate cake with fresh blackberries and mesquite smoke.

Palate

Plush and dark with light French oak notes, medium rare prime rib, caramel cold brew, huckleberry syrup and lush tannins on an undeviating finish.

Growing Conditions

Ciel du Cheval Vineyard located in the Red Mountain Appellation was the first vineyard planted on Red Mountain in 1972. Owner Jim Holmes farms the vineyard on this revered site and credits the success of Ciel du Cheval, to “dirt and climate, climate and dirt.”
