Washington Wine Report
-
By Sean Sullivan
(Force Majeure Reserve Syrah Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Mountain) Light ruby colored. Bright raspberry aromas pair with crushed flowers and spice on an aromatically compelling wine. The palate is silky and weighted with intense, penetrating fruit flavors that persist for thirty-plus seconds on the finish. This is a wine you can just smell and be totally satisfied. Syrah co-fermented with 3% Viognier. Aged 39 months in 100% new French oak. 14.6% alcohol. 45 cases produced. Ben Smith winemaker.

It's dead, Jim. It fell apart, very clearly. Everything was fragmented, and ended in an unceremoniously bitter finish. It's a shame, this is an interesting wine when it was young. I fear for it's siblings in my cellar.

Way too much new oak for my tastes in a Syrah--but I also don't like Lalas for the same reason. Everyone else loved it.

Gorgeous tonight with huge sweet tannins but I'd drink this within the next couple of years.

Sadly, my bottle was on the down slide. Fruit was fading and initially the acidity stuck out. Eventually it mellowed out, but the fruit was lacking a bit. Nose was stelar with tons of black pepper

Dark and super concentrated with blueberry, some smoky meat and a great intensity and finish
