Another fun comparison against the Quilceda Creek, and totally open for business. Classic Howell Mtn cab. Aromatics of baked mixed berry pie, fig, Mexican vanilla, graphite, and a delicate floral note. Fairly integrated on the palate with boysenberries, blueberry compote, dark chocolate, nutmeg and espresso. Delicious right now. β a year ago
This CVR, Columbia Valley Red, is a blend of 87% Cab Sauv, 7% Merlot and 3% each of Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. Deep Ruby with aromas of black and ripe red fruits with notes of smoky cedar and earthy herb notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with sweet spice, black pepper and mineral notes. Long finish ending with smoky cedar, earthy notes and stewed fruit. Good balance, great now! β 2 months ago
