I picked up this wine because I have had Columbia Crest Two Vine series before and was never disappointed. The price is right and the quality has always left me impressed. Anyway, this one caught my eye because I did not really know what i was in the mood for and since it was a blend I figured I would give it a try. |

- Aromas of Strawberry and clove
- Cranberry and spice in the flavor
- Somewhat tart but in a pleasant way
- Slight taste of a really ripe and juicy plum on the finish
- Interesting,intriguing, and keeps you attentive…like a very good college professor that engages you with so many things that you wonder where the time went in the class….ok..ok..ok…not really…it is more like the class clown that keeps you awake in a boring philosophy class because you never know what he is going to do next…Yup…thats more like. This wine was a lot of fun!!!!!

This is a Cabernet from Chile. We reviewed the 2005 in January and thought we would compare the 2007 to that vintage. Once again this wine falls below the 04 that we really liked. It is not a bad wine but just not up to the level of the 04. Give it a try with some grilled red meat and you might find this to be a decent wine that is worth the price. |

- Hints of citrus with a strong alcohol scent
- Jammy aromas with spicy notes.
- Tastes of grapefruit
- A bit sharp on the tongue
- Overall mouth feel is a bit harsh and big with has a long finish
- This wine is definitely a food wine that would be great with a porterhouse steak and twice baked potato
- Bold and in your face like a school yard bully….taking it on by itself can be a bit overwhelming but pairing this wine with a hearty meal will take some of the edge off and reveal its softer side.
