AlmaTerra 2006 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Syrah (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Ciel du Cheval Vineyard
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: AlmaTerra / Red Mountain

Really fragrant, with this vineyard’s near-perfect mix of fruit, rock and barrel. This is restrained, elegant but powerful—raspberry fruit over crushed rock, with vertical structure, an immaculate mouthfeel, and a finish that continues to resonate for minutes after the swallow.
