Winemaker's Notes:

 A medium-bodied wine with supple tannins that is packed with intense black cherry, cocoa and smoke. Complex, rich and aromatic, this stylish wine offers balance and finesse from start to finish.

"Though the Wine Advocate has been bellowing it for years, it is worth repeating: Columbia Crest is the source of some of the finest values in the world..."
-Wine Advocate

About Columbia Crest:

 Columbia Crest is one of the most impressive wineries in the Northwest. Fashioned after a country French chateau, the winery sits amidst 2,000 acres of estate vineyards just 20 minutes south of Prosser. Picnickers enjoy the winery's landscaped grounds, acres of lawn, scenic pond and courtyard with tables. Inside, the elegant lobby, large gift shop and tasting room top the list of visitor amenities. The winery is best known for Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon-Chardonnay which are consistently recognized for their quality by leading wine publications.
