Made with a splash of Merlot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Ciel du Cheval Vineyard begins with the scent of new money from new French oak usage before notes of dusty blackberries, dark plum and sage jump out of the glass. Full-bodied, the Cabernet displays a tight mineral tension with layers of dark red and black fruit tones before offering a firm, tannic edge that will remain food-friendly through this decade. The wine ends with a delightfully lingering finish with persistent flavors of graphite, dark cherry skin and cinnamon. Just under 4,700 bottles were filled after the wine rested for 20 months in a mix of new and used French oak barrels. Give it a try.
