When we first reviewed this wine, the 2012 vintage, we labeled it as one of our favorite red blends under $10. We've tried it a few times since then and have consistently been impressed. Today we check out the 2016.
The 2016 Columbia Crest H3 Les Chevaux Red, named for the wild horses once found in the Horse Heaven Hills, begins with excellent aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, baking spice, a little vanilla, floral notes, black olive and more. The wine tastes smooth, lush, velvety and just delightful. Filled with lots of rich dark fruit and nice touches of spice, licorice and chocolate, the wine has great balance and drinks like way more than $10. It ends dry with extremely good length and lots of lingering chocolate soaked fruit. Fabulous!
