Columbia Crest Horse Heaven Hills Merlot 2006
You have probably heard of Columbia Crest Winery even if you have not heard of the Horse Heaven Hills of Washington State. Columbia Crest makes four levels of wines they call tiers. Two Vines is the lowest tier, followed by Grand Estates, Horse Heaven Hills and Reserve. Naturally, they get more expensive as you go up. Horse Heaven Hills is a range of south facing hills along the Columbia River in southwestern Washington. It is one of America' s newest American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). These are designated wine grape-growing regions in the U. S. The list is maintained by the US Department of the Treasury Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. These designated geographical areas are generally known for growing superior wine grapes.

Columbia Crest Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Lithe, supple and distinctive for its blueberry, plum and vanilla spice aromas and flavors, finishing on a savory note of dusky herbs and roast beef. The tannins are refined, and the finish persists nicely.
