Columbia Crest Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 Columbia Valley, Washington

This Washington "Fruit Bomb" is about as user friendly and easy drinking as Cabernet gets!

What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Focused, refined and appealing for its open-weave texture around a generous core of plum and currant fruit, finishing with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Drink now through 2014. –HS 

What We Thought: Notes of licorice, dark chocolate and cedar combine with gobs of ripe blackberry fruit in this full-bodied Columbia Valley fruit bomb. This is about as smooth and easy drinking as Cabernet gets.
