The ‘Grand Cheval’ was an extraordinary project created by the late Ken Evenstad, dedicated to his grandfather, as this blends Seven Hills Vineyard Syrah with Domaine Serene Estate Pinot Noir. Smoky and savory tones fill the nose alongside a brilliant core of dark fruits and tobacco leaf undercurrents. The palate is utterly seamless with a brilliant texture and plenty of novelty. Your sommelier friends quite simply won’t know what this wine is. They will surely find it seamless and gratifying at the finish, with blackberry topped chocolate torte tones. Enjoy this glorious wine over the next fifteen years.
