More elegant and seamless (which is a hallmark of the vineyard) the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Ciel du Cheval Vineyard gives up sweet currants and black raspberry styled fruits, flowers, and hints of toast to go with a seamless, pure, elegant and medium to full-bodied feel on the palate. Made from 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, it’s a gorgeous bottle of wine that will evolve gracefully for 12-15 years.
Another fine lineup of well-made wines from Mike Januik.
