Horse Heaven Hills is located towards the southern end of the Columbia Valley. This esteemed wine region’s south facing slopes provide extended sun and wind exposure. These conditions ripen the grapes to perfection and create thick grape skins which translate to delicious, concentrated flavor in every bottle. This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon has rich blackberry aromas that are a classic representation of the Horse Heaven Hills appellation. The dark berry notes continue on to the palate complemented by hints of vanilla and refined tannins. — a year ago

Quite chunky and needs time. Purple fruit and garrigue, tons of minerality, almost overwhelmingly so. This needs a few years to rein itself in. Certainly a special wine in the making. Value-wise, it's probably commensurate with the price point, but there's a unique-ness to this that makes the cost somewhat moot - a unicorn wine. — 4 years ago

This is clearly intended to portray a Burgundian profile. And it largely succeeds. The Chablis-like nose has wet stony earth and apply fruit. Crisp acids. Minerally flavors. The problem — and this is a problem I see whenever someone in a region with abundant sunshine actively tries to rein in the ripeness by picking early — is that by picking before the time when nature gives you the ripeness IT wants, the wines somehow lack depth and feel a little “clipped.” So, in sum, I like this, but it lacks the depth to be profound. — 6 years ago

Luscious dark fruits are the draw here. The ample acidic and tannic structure can barely rein in the richness of the fruits.
Need time to settle, but I did enjoy the sheer power of a young Toro. — 2 years ago

Perfect pair of pairings to eggs in a curry sauce over jasmine rice. Good to have the backyard egg factory 👍 — 3 years ago

Rein in your horses! Or not! Lovely barnyard-horsey funk. Underripe cherry! Nice acid. Limited tannin. Enjoyable and well priced. — 6 years ago

Lovely. Super mineral and precise. No formal notes. Cooking dinner wine. Really long. Will update tomorrow.

Today it’s super minerally with amazing depth of aroma. Still lean but man does it have breadth. Juicy and clean. Like a Riesling razor. 9.2 to 9.3. Juicy, luscious and lime infused finish. — 2 years ago

Nose has some apricot skin. Some smoke. As I opens some green apple skin.

Palate is very vibrant. Not hugely fruited. Mineral. As it opens some mountain stream thing. Green apple.

More under $20 joy—trying to rein in that booze budget. Deep, dark fruit—plums, ripe cherries—with a pronounced earthy funk on the nose and finish. Tons of grip, which I’m sure will pair well with this Monday night DiGiorno. 🙅🏾‍♂️💅🏾 — 6 years ago
