The saturated ruby/purple colored 2014 Dead Horse Ciel du Cheval Vineyard (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot) gives up terrific Cabernet notes of black currants, cassis, lead pencil shavings, graphite and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, elegant and seamless, with notable freshness and purity, drink it over the coming decade or more.
