Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval Vineyard 2005
Snoothrank:

Snoothrank:
Bright, super fruity black ripe cherry aromas. Flavors are deep and rustic, full of toasted oak and darker berry flavors. Black olive and leather and tar, although surprisingly it seems to brighten on the finish, tailing off with nice tannin and red fruit.

Seven Hills Ciel du Cheval Vineyard 2007
Snoothrank:
A little bit sharp with the acids, but there are some really interesting fruit and herbal notes just under the surface, with great tobacco and chocolate notes. I get basil, rosemary, and apple on the mouth.
