2008 Columbia Crest Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

93pts(WS)Chewy with tannin, but bursting with fresh currant and plum, sneaking in hints of mint and black tea as the finish lingers. A graceful wine that has miles to go. Best from 2013 through 2018. From Washington. Harvey Steiman Wine Spectator Insider Vol 8 No 10 March 7, 2012

"This wine delivers an enticing bouquet of spice, anise and rose petals. On the palate, a perfect balance of cherry, berry and coco flavors lead to a powerful and complex finish.” Juan Munoz Oca, Winemaker
