97 Points Jeb Dunnuck

"Deep purple-colored, the 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Cabernet Grand Ciel Vineyard saw an extended maceration and is aged all in new barrels. Black raspberries, cassis, toasted spice, and espresso roast notes all emerge from this ripe, full-bodied, decadent 2016 that certainly packs a punch. It has tons of fruit, building structure, and terrific purity, as well as classic Red Mountain character."

Production Notes:

Cold soaked 24-36 hours, fermented 14-16 days on skin, aged 20 months in 100% new French oak and aged in bottle 18 months prior to release.

Winemaker Notes:

"100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Grand Ciel Cabernet is a single vineyard, single estate & single clone Cabernet from our estate vineyard on Red Mountain. Every detail of our vineyard has been designated to produce the highest quality fruit from the unique climate & soil of this prestigious AVA known for ripe & structured Cabernet. Our rigorous selection process only permits a small portion of grapes to become part of Grand Ciel. Venison, ribeye or wagyu and hearty beef stew are all fantastic partners for Grand Ciel along with flavorful aged cheeses such as vintage cheddar and Gorgonzola."
