NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Columbia Crest Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon exudes a deep ruby hue, hinting at the wine's intensity and richness.The bouquet unfurls a harmonious blend of ripe blackberries, cassis, and plum, interwoven with nuances of dark chocolate, cedar, and a hint of vanilla. Upon the first sip, the palate is greeted with a full-bodied experience where plush tannins frame flavors of dark fruit, espresso, and mocha. A notable acidity offers balance, guiding the wine towards a finish marked by notes of black cherries, licorice, and toasted oak. With its structure and depth, this wine promises further evolution in the bottle and pairs beautifully with robust dishes like grilled steaks or lamb chops.
