Force Majeure Vineyards Collaboration Serie I 2012, crafted by Force Majeure in Washington’s Red Mountain, is a refined Bordeaux-style blend, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot. The 2012 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and plum, with notes of graphite, spice, and earthy minerality. The palate is rich and balanced, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity that frame the fruit. Subtle hints of mocha, leather, and herbs add depth, while the finish is long and elegant. Force Majeure’s artisanal winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and finesse. Perfect for pairing with grilled ribeye or aged cheeses, this Serie I is a collector’s treasure, reflecting Red Mountain’s terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a nuanced Bordeaux-style blend.
