Country: US / Collaboration Series VI Ciel du Cheval Vineyard
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Force Majeure / Red Mountain
This is a marvelous wine, made for Force Majeure by Syncline’s James Mantone. A delectable blend of 56% Mourvèdre, 38% Syrah, and 6% Grenache, it’s a spice rack of aromatics, with flavors of boysenberry and raspberry over crushed rocks. Tight, tart and tangy, it has remarkable depth and density, and should age beautifully for at least a decade.
