5/9/2024 - Jake112380 wrote: NRDefinitely needs a solid decant or some more cellar time at this point. Big and bold with lots of dark fruit. Ample tannins. I guessed 10% PV in the blend, but I can’t find the actual number online anywhere to check. |

2013 Force Majeure Collaboration Series VI Ciel du Cheval VineyardRed Mountain Red Rhone Blend more |
5/5/2024 - SMHalps Likes this wine: 92 pointsPart of a Force Majeure Night with my wine group. We had in order, the 2021 Viognier Force Majeure Vineyard, 2013 Collaboration Series VI Ciel du Cheval Vineyard, 2018 Parabellum Alluvio Bordeaux Blend, 2018 Parabellum Coulée Rhone Blend, and the 2016 Epinette. All the wines were opened, but not decanted for over 45 minutes before pouring. My final bottle from all the Collaboration series wines I purchased from FM. While still very good, I do think it has past it's best years. It was a big hit with my wine group. |

5/2/2024 - Bluecollar wrote: 93 pointsThis is has come into it's element and is a rich, balanced, wine of poise. The fruit still seems fresh, with flavors of black plum, currant, and blackberry, with hints of anise and clove. The core is balanced by pleasing acidity that transitions to velvety tannins. This somehow plays out again in the finish as it starts with velvet mouthfeel and ends with lively acidity. |

4/20/2024 - mojotojo Likes this wine: 92 pointsExcellent, mature, GSM-type blend from Force Majeure. Dark cherries and other red fruit, lavendar, "french" spices, garrigue, just a hint of olive tapenade, and wet stone. The tannins have fully resolved and are silky and sweet. Lush is a good descriptor. Delicious wine wine that is complex and drinking wonderfully now and can probably last a few more years. |

2016 Nota Bene Cellars Merlot Ciel du Cheval VineyardRed Mountain more |
4/17/2024 - chairmanzian Likes this wine: 90 pointsMedium full bodied with milk chocolate like texture. Well integrated with dark chocolate and ripe black fruit on the tongue. Ripe acidity mid palate, with red berry notes more prominent with more air. Moderate finish with savory, herbaceous terminal notes. Overall, very pleasant and ready to drink. |

4/16/2024 - skifree wrote: 89 pointsDark garnet in the glass with a tiny clear meniscus. Ripe blackberry on the nose, touch of bramble and menthol lurking behind, very appealing. A bit more muddled on the palate, low acid, lots of black fruit, some cedar, and a hint of tannins on the finish. |

4/14/2024 - TallMikeWine Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted..an hour later the aromas of berries - black and blue - wafted from the decanter, with a heavy vanilla cream undertone. This wine is really thick. Also, pretty tannic, as you may guess at this age. But you know what? Drink it now if that's what you're after! I had this with pizza and it really delivered. |

4/10/2024 - BRR wrote: NRThis 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. |
