By Sean Sullivan
(DeLille Cellars Chaleur Estate Yakima Valley) This wine is Red Mountain in a glass. A complex, layered wine with violets and red fruit above and earth and cassis below. Pretty cherry aromas sneak up and around as do floral and herbal notes. Gargantuan on the taste with a tight fruit core and well integrated tannins. Give 2-5 years. 65% Cabernet (Ciel du Cheval); 25% Merlot (Klipsun, Boushey); 8% Cab Franc (Ciel du Cheval); 2% Petit Verdot (Ciel du Cheval).

Last one.
Big fruit, big oak that is starting to integrate.
Smooth, rich and decadent.

This is a big wine that needs a little time to open up. I would suggest a slight decant. After the wine opens up there is a nice mixture of fruit and a hint of wood. Well integrated smooth finish.

Good ripe black fruit, some spice (likely from the oak), but also an attractive saline line through the palate and finish that set it apart for me.

Big CA like wine that aspires to big Napa cult wine status
This is a big wine. Super ripe with lots of oak.
I used to like this kind of wine.
