description: A unique expression of this well-known vineyard, the Barnard Griffin Ciel du Cheval vineyard Merlot has bright berry flavors, sharp acidity, some cut tobacco flavors, and penetrating minerality. The alcohol is listed at 14.4% and seems even lighter; the focus here is on elegance and clean fruit flavors, yet the wine leaves a strong finishing impression and does not limp away.
variety: Merlot
designation: Ciel du Cheval
