By Sean Sullivan
(Cadence Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Wine Red Mountain) Tight as a drum right now, it opens to reveal outrageous minerality, plum, dark cherries, chocolate, violets, and graphite. The palate is highly structured, supple in feel with firm, slightly dry tannins. Needs a long rest in the cellar. 39% Cabernet Franc, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Petit Verdot, and 11% Merlot. 14.4% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.

This is entering its drinking window. Even out of crummy hotel room glasses and no decant, this was great. Minty red and dark fruits with a fine, long finish. Nowhere near decline. A detailed yet powerful version of a WA State Bdx blend.

P&P. Good showing with the plummy fruit taking a back seat to a more earthy presentation with almost crisp acidity. Very floral. I do think this is in a great spot and I would optimize by drinking sooner rather than later

Dark, ripe and exciting. Bright, fresh dark currant and dark cherry fruit. Really juicy with fine tannins, bright acidity and a long long finish. This is not super complex but is delicious. Maybe a tinge of green herbs/mint on the nose from the cab franc, but the herbaceousness is very muted on the palate. Sweet long finish.

There's a pleasant mustiness upon opening. Bordeaux-like notes with currant fruit. A little reticent, but a classy pour. I would decant for sediment.
