Ciel du Cheval Vineyard is a premier vineyard in Washington State.  Located in the Red Mountain AVA, it is blessed with warm days and cool nights that ensure dominant, mature, ripe flavors. We expect luxurious wines with firm structure from Ciel du Cheval, and this Merlot is no exception. The rich, dark-berry flavors marry and stream through a lingering, complex finish. We thank the Holmes family for this fine fruit during a wonderful vintage that can spend considerable time in a proper cellar. Enjoy!
