JM CELLARS Syrah, Red Mountain ‘Ciel Du Cheval’ 2018

Coming from the famed Ciel Du Cheval vineyard of Red Mountain, this 100% Syrah rests for 18 months in a unique combination of 50% new oak (which comprises 50% French and 50% Russian) and 50% once-used oak with the same split of French and Russian. A gorgeous nose which consists of over-ripe boysenberry, wild blueberry, smoked beef brisket, black pepper and some savory oak spices. The palate is more fruit-forward than savory and explodes with luscious flavors of blackberry preserves, cinnamon accents and some fun meaty and earthy qualities. Drink this one over the next five years.
