# 2019 Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red This **medium to full-bodied Bordeaux blend** opens with spicy white pepper and dried roses, revealing layers of dark plum, black raspberry, and mineral tension on the palate. The wine balances silky refinement with energetic acidity and firm, well-integrated tannins that provide structure without heaviness. Aromas of graphite, pencil shavings, and subtle tobacco add complexity and minerality characteristic of Red Mountain’s terroir. Already approachable now, this elegant wine will continue to evolve gracefully for 15–20 years with proper cellaring. Pair with herb-crusted lamb, grilled mushrooms, or aged cheeses to complement its savory herbal notes and lingering finish.
