Columbia Crest 2006 Two Vines Merlot-Cabernet (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Two Vines
Variety: Merlot-Cabernet Washington
Winery: Columbia Crest / Columbia Valley (WA)

It is amazing that 134,000 cases of this budget bottling can be made to this level of quality. From a classic vintage, it’s structured and substantial, overcoming the somewhat overdone vanilla flavors with great fruit and firm acids.
