BORDEAUX BLEND
gourmet pairings
Pairs well with a medium-rare,
lightly seasoned New York
steak with mushrooms and
mashed potatoes.
tasting notes
The Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Bordeaux Blend is a bright,
deep ruby-red blend. It features inviting, fruit-driven aromas
of raspberry, blackberry, boysenberry, pie cherry, licorice, and
minerals. Sweet, lush, and fully-ripe flavors blend with excellent
depth to the wine's blueberry and dark chocolate flavors.
winemaker's insight
The grapes sourced for the blend are from vines that are up
to 35 years old. Whole berry fermentation is done using native
yeast after a four-day cold soak in open-top fermenters. The cap
is punched down by hand twice a day, and the must is gently
pressed into 100% French oak barrels.
