Columbia Crest Two Vines Vinyard 10 (Washington, 2006)
We’ve reviewed the 2005 vintage of this wine already, and because it was such a great wine for the price we couldn’t pass up the 2006 vintage as well.  Once again we were not disappointed as this wine proved to be excellent once again.
$8 at Bashas
Four and a Half Trophies
  • Sweet strawberry and spice in the aroma
  • Tastes of vanilla and rich berries flavors
  • Overall very smooth and easy drinking
  • Great balance with just the right amount of tannins and sweetness
  • This wine is the perennial playoff team… always very competitive… always able to put together a team that goes deep into the playoffs year after year.  Pick this wine up, you won’t be disappointed… it’s a winner!!!

Columbia Crest Two Vines Vinyard 10 (Washington, 2005)

Category: BlendEddie @ 2:01 pm
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.
$7 at Safeway
Four and a Half Trophies
  • 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!!!!!

Columbia Crest Two Vines Cabernet Sauvignon (Washington, 2004)

Category: Cabernet SauvignonMike @ 8:31 am
Columbia Crest This wine is a Cabernet from the Columbia Valley in Washington. I picked this up at Fresh and Easy but I have had it before. It can be found in Fry’s and Basha’s but the price at Fresh and Easy was the cheapest I have seen. The Two Vines line from Columbia Crest has produced many “Best Buy” and “Best Value” designations from wine aficionados.
$6.00 Purchased at Fresh and Easy
Four Trophies
  • Strong aromas of fruit that is dominated by Black Cherry
  • Nice balance between sweet and dry with moderate tannins
  • Cherry and oak flavors right away and a hint of cocoa on the finish
  • Full bodied and robust
  • A little sharp on the tongue at first but decanting led to a very soft and velvety feeling in the mouth
  • A wonderful and enjoyable wine for the price….Like eating a burger from a charcoal grill…it is still just a burger but that charcoal grill makes it taste like so much more.
