Expert Reviews
The Grand Ciel vines are from 2000 on this Red Mountain estate site and are solely planted to clone 191. This wine shows intense concentration, dark berries, rich cherry flesh aromatics, myrrh, and one vineyard block. This wine makes just 300-400 cases. Aromatics of woodsmoke, graphite and a melange of peppercorn. This is a Red Mountain Cabernet of elegance, mouthfuls of smoky florals, savoury dried desert scrub and a tang of blackberries and mint. It's delicious and redolent now but will further integrate and knit itself together; its concentration and intensity will mellow. The tannins are already so wonderfully integrated, but this wine will age beautifully.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Ciel slowly emerges from the glass with a complex and beguiling bouquet that blends incense, pencil shavings and gravel dust with hints of minty blackberries and pine. This possesses textures of pure silk, seamless and supple, with wave after wave of ripe red and black fruit notes complicated by a touch of balsamic spice and dark chocolate. Pleasantly bitter, chewy and incredibly long, the 2021 finishes with staining length and potency. It leaves behind mentholated herbs and a spicy sensation as sage and black licorice fade slowly. The word sultry comes to mind. This is a classic in the making.
Matured for 20 months entirely in new French oak, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Ciel is scented of blackcurrant, violet, aniseed, coffee and tar. The full-bodied palate offers floral flavors structured by clay-textured tannins and rounded acidity, and it has a youthfully dense finish. Give it 3-5 years in the cellar. 330 cases were made.
