Note di degustazione
(14.6% alcohol; 48% merlot, 30% cabernet franc, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 7% petit verdot) Good dark red. Subdued, deep aromas of currant, plum and tobacco leaf, with a hint of nutty oak. Juicy, spicy and firmly built, with good spine to the red fruit and blueberry flavors. In fact, this fresh but brooding wine is a bit youthfully disjointed and needs a good four or five years of bottle aging. Finishes with a firm tannic backbone and very good rising length. Camarda told me he's currently enjoying his '98s and '95s at home.

The 2004 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard is a blend of 48% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers a restrained nose of herbs, clove, menthol, cedar, tobacco, cassis, and black cherry. This is followed by a medium-bodied, moderately complex wine with light tannins but a short finish. Drink it over the next 8-10 years. Chris Camarda’s Andrew Will Cellars began in 1989 and currently produces 4300 cases of predominantly Bordeaux-style blends. They reflect Carmada’s interpretation of each vineyard’s terroir. Tel.
