By Sean Sullivan
(Grand Rêve Vintners Collaboration Series I Red Wine Ciel du Cheval Red Mountain) Arresting aromatics of floral notes, earth, chocolate, penetrating licorice notes, herbal notes, and a jumble of red and black fruit on a wine to linger over. The palate is dense, dark, and seamless with a firm texture of polished tannins. A hedonist’s delight. Give three plus years or decant extensively. 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 13% Petit Verdot, and 11% Merlot. Aged 23 months in French oak (70% new). 14.8% alcohol. 200 cases produced. Ben Smith winemaker.

Color is solid. No bricking .
Nose of sweet tobacco, fully integrated oak, really interesting and I want to try it
Palate is silky smooth, densely flavored, rich, and delicious. Finishes long and the tannins really smooth out and make this delicious.
Would buy again .

A bit of a disappointment. Big and juicy but also simple and hot.

Bottle 2 of 4. Decanted and transported to a friends house to enjoy with steaks and potatoes.
Velvety structure, fruity/jammy and rather primary on the palate with moderate acidity and a pleasing finish.
Drink now through 2020.
