What to Expect

Cabenet Sauvignon: Originally of French origins, this versatile grape produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.

Much different style than the napa cabs I have been drinking lately. The only word that comes to mind right now is that they're "heavier". Deeper somehow. This is a great cab, black currant, blackberry, black everything you can think of. Hints of licorice. Great!

No Question. CC's Grand Estate Cab. is superb.
The local retailer up here had a post holiday close out at $200 a case. I think it was a "goof".
Anyway I thought a case was a "safe buy". Wrong!
I blew through that (with help from my wife) in about two months. If you can find it Buy it!

Absolutely amazing value for the price point, but hard to find. Solid fruit up front with a lingering cocoa finish - really wonderful stuff.

Rich nose - light dustiness, plum, strawberry. Good body. Delicious - accessible, new world style, complex. Smooth, balanced tannin and acid. Ager? Not overdone.

I was very skeptical of this wine too, especially since it is priced so affordably (under $40). I think this is one of the best wine values I've ever seen! This big, rich Cabernet can stand up to California's "big boys" that charge well over $150 per bottle. Amazingly good wine - and not just for the price! If you held a blind tasting, you'd swear this wine was easily in the over $100 price range.

Ripe in flavor, with a vivid array of black currant, blackberry, violet, black tea and black pepper aromas and flavors that zoom through to a long, expressive finish. Shows subtlety in the layers of complex flavor against a refined structure. Tannins... Wine Spectator. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Washington in USA. 2005 Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 750ml

Ripe in favor with a vivid array of black currant blackberry violet black tea and black pepper aromas and favors that zoom through to a long expressive finish. Shows subtlety in the layers of complex favor against a refined structure. Tannins are present but nicely contained. Best from 2010 through 2015. From Washington.H.S.

A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. This powerful Cabernet Sauvignon delivers intensefruit aromas mingled with chocolate cherry and slight mint aromatics. Cocoa and black cherry flavors lead to a complex, perfectly balanced palate of wood and fruit flavors that cumulate on the lingering finish.
