Deep, pure and layered, with medium to full-bodied richness, firm tannin and impressive length on the finish, it should most likely benefit from short-term cellaring and have 10-12 years of prime drinking. Drink now-2023. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tLocated in Walla Walla and founded in 1998 by Ron and Jamie Colman, with the wines now made by Danny Gordon, this first-rate estate fashions classic, age-worthy wines that over deliver for the price. While I tasted the majority of the bottled wines in Colorado, all of the reserve efforts were tasted from barrel during my visit to the winery. This is an estate to watch and I came away more than a little impressed. \u003cstrong\u003e- Wine Advocate 92-94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamarack Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948920860719,"sku":"W0EE343044CSL","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/tamarackchevalbtl.jpg?v=1771485128","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/tamarack-ciel-de-cheval-vineyard-reserve-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
