Dead Horse

Dead Horse Wine Details
Price: $38.00 per bottle

Description: Dead Horse is Left Bank Bordeaux in style and is made entirely from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard grapes . This wine is called Dead Horse because the vineyard name loosely translated in french is Horse Heaven. I believe Ciel du Cheval to be one of best vineyard sites in Washington. Consistently, Ciel du Cheval is one of the warmest vineyards in the state and this allows for big, ripe, elgant wines with great structure, balance and complexity. NO HORSES WERE HURT DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THIS WINE AND IT WAS TESTED ON HUMANS! 2002 Dead Horse is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot.
