Columbia Crest makes the most under
appreciated reserve wines in Washington State. This
wine is as good or better than most of the $50 Napa
Cabernet's in the store. Maybe they should just
call it Walter Clore Reserve and drop their
name...
Columbia Crest
Cabernet Sauvignon Walter Clore Reserve 2001 Columbia Valley,
Washington $32
Vintage Closeout
$19.99
What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Spectator 93 Points - Highly
Recommended
Ripe, polished, opulent style teems
with spicy black cherry, raspberry, black olive, bay leaf and
sweet spice flavors, which echo against the superfine tannins
on the long, generous finish. Drink now through 2013. 4,000
cases made. (HS)
What We
Thought: A very robust with aromas of spicy
black cherry followed by a intense, full-bodied palate that
just oozes with ultra rich, ultra ripe, black cherry and
blackberry fruit finishing with velvety tannins.
An elegant Cabernet to drink now or lay down
for five or six years.
