2006 Soos Creek Ciel du Cheval Vineyard

**2006 Soos Creek Ciel du Cheval Vineyard (USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Red Mountain)** The nose had black currant and cherry, a little chocolate, and a toasty oak finish. The palate was rich and thick, and had cherry, black currant, mocha, and a finish of pure vanilla. It was a little hot, but not enough to bother me. (92 pts.)
