Medium to dark purple just going garnet. Dusty fruit with a touch of spice. As consistent as always with strong black cherry and spice. Acid and fine tannins balance well.

(Columbia Crest H3 Les Chevaux Red Wine Horse Heaven Hills) An aromatically appealing wine with toasty oak spices, vanilla, dark, brambly berries, light gamey notes, and coffee. The palate has a creamy feel, loaded with oak and dark fruit flavors with impeccable balance. The oak is often at the fore here but for those looking for this style at a can’t-be-beat price, look no further. 80% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Syrah. Aged 18 months in French and American oak (33% new). 14.5% alcohol. 72,000 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
