100% Merlot from the famed Red Mountain vineyard of Ciel Du Chavel, the nose explodes with aromas of red forest fruit, desert mountain sage, candied plum, and wet crushed slate. High acidity and medium tannins form the palate of crunchy red fruit, black cherry, dried cedary herbs, and just a hint of fresh tar on the back palate. If you drink it now, give it a good half a day of decanting first, or enjoy it over the next decade or more.
