Country: US / Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Wine
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Cadence / Red Mountain
Fragrant and liquorous, this opens with scents of berry and cherry and spice, lightly lifted with floral accents. The wine is a pretty ruby color, and it walks the line between open and closed, poised right on the fence. There is a sharp spicy streak, which wraps into the graphite and mineral character of the vineyard.
