Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2033, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Jun 2016

Showing classic Red Mountain characteristics of dusty earth, graphite, savory fruits and dried violets, the 800-case 2013 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard is medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant and layered on the palate, with present, savory tannin. More closed, reticent and restrained aromatically, this beauty needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep through 2033. Made from 56% Merlot and 44% Cabernet that spent 18 months in 35% new oak, this is one of the cases where the terroir supersedes the variety.

Bright ruby-red. Sexy hint of reduction to the aromas of raspberry, smoked meat and coffee. Plush and sweet in the mouth, offering fat flavors of red berries, mocha and coffee. The 2012 bottling shows more energy and minty lift today but this wine will offer great early pleasure.
