44 | 2007 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Reserve
92 Points The winery best known for its consistently delicious Firehouse Red wine presents a reserve blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and cabernet franc that’s dark in color and rich and intense on the palate with plump, ripe fruit flavors and polished tannins.
100 | 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
91 Points Winemaker Danny Gordon sources cabernet for this wine from a list of the state’s best vineyard sites including Tapteil, Seven Hills, Bacchus, DuBrul, and Ciel du Cheval. The resulting wine is full of chocolate flavors and velvety tannins.
