A real beauty at 14+ years with a good 10 more to go. Resolved acid-tannin structure reveals an abundance of ripe, luscious fruit with perhaps a little overly generous percentage of new oak.

Full nose of blackberry and black currant with minty notes and sage. Plums, honeycomb, raspberry reduction and fir. Blueberry and blackberry on the palate with black currant and black olive both taste and texturally as it unfolds into cedar, dense chocolate truffle, and Turkish coffee. #SevenHills #CielduCheval #Washington #washingtonstate #washingtonwines #bordeauxblends #cabblends #SevenHillsWinery

Steak on the grill with this wine was perfect. Big bold jammy bloody. Opened nicely after 2 hours. Long finish.

Deep ruby/purple. Red fruit and pepper. M+ intensity. Round tannin, balanced with a long finish. An extremely elegant wine!
