The 2014 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard offers up attractive aromas of cigar box, cassis fruit, loamy soil and espresso roast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a juicy core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins that still need some time in the cellar to resolve. Beautifully balanced and incipiently complex, this should evolve for a long time to come. It's a blend of 33% Cabernet Franc, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot. - William Kelley
