This week's wine is a Cabernet that has gotten some rave reviews in wine publications--Columbia Crest's "Horse Heaven Hills" Cabernet. My knowledge of terroir isn't the greatest, but this wine has a great deal of minerality and some black pepper flavors. The nose refused to open up to me, but it's complex flavor and seemingly condensed bouquet made it an excellent, stand alone Cabernet. If you like Cab, this one is a lot of fun to drink.
