Force Majeure Vineyards Collaboration Series V 2012, crafted by Force Majeure in Washington’s Red Mountain, is a luxurious 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 toasted oak. The palate is rich and balanced, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity that frame the fruit. Subtle hints of mocha, leather, and minerality add depth, while the finish is long and refined. 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 Series V is a collector’s treasure, reflecting Red Mountain’s terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a complex Bordeaux-style blend.
