Community Tasting Note

JHeinie Likes this wine:

Tuesday, November 8, 2016 - Served at 55F after aerating and served immediately.

Dark red. The nose has cherry and red fruit with hints of oak / tobacco.

On the palette theres a nice balance of fruit and tannins. This wine isn't terribly complex but for $8 there is no better mouth feel available. The balance of alcohol, acidity and tannins forms a roundness in your mouth that usually eludes wines that are double and triple the price. The finish is oak and vanilla with traces of plum.

If you like Cabernet, there currently is no better QPR than this wine, right now. Well done, Columbia Crest.
