Promising aromas of rich cassis, juniper-like spice and toasty new oak announce the 2015 Dead Horse Ciel du Cheval Vineyard, but on the palate, this medium to full-bodied wine falls somewhat short, with a rather dilute palate structured around chewy tannins. This blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot is rather pedestrian for the price.
