It’s another vintage and another winner! We’ve long recommended the Columbia Crest Horse Heaven Hills H3 Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2016 vintage is no exception. The wine begins with tons of ripe, dark fruit and perfumed floral notes along with touches of chocolate and vanilla. The wine tastes juicy and delicious and is bursting with sweet plum, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit. Secondary notes of vanilla, chocolate, coffee and tobacco slowly take over mid-palate and lead into the long, dusty finish. Just a touch on the sweet side, this is darn good and highly quaffable (and highly recommended).
