Mark Ryan Long Haul Red 04: Hedonistic Ciel du Cheval Pommerol style red.

NEWSeattle Times says "Also from Ciel du Cheval, this Pomerol-styled red was tasted a few weeks ahead of its planned November release. The black cherry fruit, with a dark mineral and graphite undercurrent, rides on a river of acid into the silky finish of coffee and buttery chocolate. Beautifully structured and — there's no better word for it — hedonistic."

Seattle's Wine Squire says: "It's about time young man! We have waited a very long time for the debut wine from this Washington State winemaker. Mark Ryan's Long Haul is a fantastic example of where Washington winemaking is heading. Great extraction of color and intense aromatics of dark berry fruit, cassis, leather and smoke fill the glass. The seductive nose of this wine is prelude to its magnificent texture and flavors. Its explosive flavors of black cherry, licorice, vanilla and warm brown spices glide through the palate. The texture and mouthfeel of the wine may just be its greatest attribute. The Long Haul offers up silky tannins and a velvety smooth structure while still maintaining it's full-bodied appeal. This is quite a wine and a spectacular first effort from what I would consider Washington State’s hottest new winery."
