Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A 100% Merlot from Ciel du Cheval, one of Red Mountain's oldest and most celebrated vineyards, made by Charlie Hoppes at Fidélitas. Dark in the glass, with red florals, black cherry and a Red Mountain sage note; the palate is plush and layered, with cassis, dark chocolate and a mineral thread over silky but well-structured tannins. Concentrated and long, a serious Merlot that rewards several years in bottle.
