Reserve Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon

Last bottle of this very good HHH cab. A bit more meaty and rustic on the nose than the last bottle that I can remember. Lightly candied fruits, round acidity, and polished tannins are coming together nicely. At its peak, but should stay here for another 4-5 years.

I had great experience with their estate Merlot, and this reserve cab is quite impressive as well.
The initially shy nose slowly reveals black and blue berries, cedar, pencil lead, incense, cocoa, and hint of crushed rocks. The slightly ripe palate is round yet delicate, showing its classy with well woven streaking acidity and mellow tannins.
100% Cab from two vineyards from HHH, raised in 100% French oak barrel (45% new) for 20 months.

For the price..... Really good. Very dry. Drinks great right out of the bottle, zero wait time. Not complex, but a really nice drink.

Starts out with a sweet aroma. Tastes like batteries and crayons but in a good way. Not a very complex taste, but extremely smooth with a creamy finish. Pairs extremely well with sriracacados.

Would buy again

Excellent. Need to decant for 30 min for smooth finish

Deep garnet with a healthy dose of alcohol content. Dry with hints of plums, cherries and licorice. Ends with a grippy finish.

Dark. Deep berries, pepper, strong tannins. A young wine.

An ok cab. Definitely not as good as Columbia Crest H3.
