The 2004 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard is a blend of 48% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers a restrained nose of herbs, clove, menthol, cedar, tobacco, cassis, and black cherry. This is followed by a medium-bodied, moderately complex wine with light tannins but a short finish. Drink it over the next 8-10 years. Chris Camarda’s Andrew Will Cellars began in 1989 and currently produces 4300 cases of predominantly Bordeaux-style blends. They reflect Carmada’s interpretation of each vineyard’s terroir.Tel.

Ciel is usually the most concentrated, mineral-streaked and ageworthy of the Andrew Will lineup, but in this frost-affected vintage it’s a much lighter, more forward wine, with less concentration. The fruits are bright and balanced, with a trace of herb. The blend is 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, 30% Cab Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. ——P.G.(12/31/2006)—— 89
