2012 Grand Ciel Cabernet 3.0L

RED MOUNTAIN AVA

96 Points

Experience a deep, almost opaque color followed by concentrated aromas of dark fruits, stones, cherry wood, saddle leather, tarragon and subtle smoke in this colossal wine. 

Tempering the size, however, there is an elegant side distinctly 
present in the lavender, white flowers, blackberries and white pepper. On the palate, these dense flavors are focused and refined with nice toasty oak balance and an ethereal finish – this is one for the ages.
