95% Cabernet Sauvignon; 4% Cabernet Franc; 1% Merlot
One characteristic contributing to the great success of Ciel du Cheval Vineyard is the high pH found in the loam topsoil of Red Mountain, courtesy of the calcium carbonate deposits left by the ancient Spokane floods. After destemming and crushing, grapes were fermented on their skins for 7 days. At that point, the wine was pressed off and aged for 20 months in new French Oak barrels to improve its already lengthy finish.
