By Sean Sullivan
(Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) An aromatically intriguing wine with mint, dried sage, plum, berry, cherry, and rich milk chocolate riding over a layer of smokiness that would make you swear there’s Syrah in the bottle but there’s not. The palate is soft and chocolaty with abundant cherry flavors, flattening out toward the finish initially before ramping up with a few hours open. 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Malbec. Aged 16 months in oak (33% new). 13.5% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.

CC CS is my everyday goto wine and I happened to have a couple bottles of the 2011. Generally I pour about a half a bottle into a measuring cup and put the rest in the wine fridge for the next day. When I did this the bouquet filled the room! I was amazed that such an inexpensive, broadly distributed wine could smell so good. It had that minty, eucalyptus aroma one associates with the greater cabernets.
The flavor and body did not disappoint. It was a delicious mouthful which tons of flavor.

Easy drinking red. A good bottle to follow up a great bottle of red.

This wine is sweet and it has an odd, cooked, creamy characteristic to it. There is also very noticeable new oak flavor that seems added on, almost like the finished product is filtered through oak sawdust before being bottled.
It is drinkable, however I don't think I will ever buy it again.

Popped and poured with a hearty stuffed peppers dinner. Was really enjoyable, surprisingly so actually. Have a case or so left in the cellar and I am sure it will last for another couple of years at this level of enjoyment. What a value! The very definition of an everyday great QPR wine.
