Soos Creek 2018 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Blend
This single vineyard Bordeaux blend is two thirds Cabernet, one third Merlot. When first opened the tannins may seem drying and tend to overtake the classic fruit flavors at the core. Aerate aggressively (always a good plan with young Cabs). The flavors favor black fruits, leafy tobacco, graphite and gravel, with good density and length. This was tasted over three days with improvement every day. It will cellar well for at least a decade.
