title: :Nota Bene 2007 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Syrah (Red Mountain)
description: Lovely delineation here, the berry/cherry fruit framed with coffee and chocolate from a 50/50 mix of French and American oak barrels. The surprise is the addition (via co-fermentation) of 6% Viognier, which stabilizes color and gives a pleasing, floral/citrus lift to the scents and flavors. Good balance and follow through.
variety: Syrah
designation: Ciel du Cheval Vineyard
