Cuvée Lucia Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Sangiovese 2009

Red Mountain is a sleeper site for the blood of Jove. Classic profile of tangy sour cherry, some spice and black tea over a nice solid tannic backbone. Tiny bit of tar on a nice medium-long finish. Drink up if you have this rarity...the prime time is now! Cin cin! — 10 years ago

Fou' Foune Lambic

Very sour, so give it a couple of tastes, and reap the rewards of the subtle apricot. Probably best not to look up what the name means till later. — 10 years ago

Tamarack Cellars

Reserve Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Blend 2011

This 2011 Tamarack Cellars Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Reserve Red Mountain Bordeaux Blend. 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc.

The aromas are full of dark fruit, black raspberry, black cherry, black currant, cocoa, violets, tobacco, spice, clean soil and a mineral component.

The palate confirms the nose. There is exciting dark fruit, cherry, black raspberry, black currant, clove, mocha, black pepper, graphite and an earthy soil.

This wine is full bodied with a silky smooth mouth feel. There is medium + Tannin, medium + acidity with a long smooth finish. Very impressed with this wine. Happy Fathers Day and have a safe rest of the weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Château Cheval Blanc

Héritiers Fourcaud-Laussac St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1947

Reddish ruby with a little brown. Almost opaque. Pure nose of black cherry, mint, herbs, cola. Incredibly rich and round in the mouth. Long finish. Guessed old Heitz Martha's Vineyard. I think that's a complement to both. Opened 5 hrs in advance and then drunk over 4 more hours, this became more refined with time. Kind of angular versus the more opulent 45 Mouton. Parker's favorite wine the legendary 47 Cheval Blanc. What a treat to compare the two side by side. I think the 45 Mouton wins at the wire tho. — 10 years ago
