Reserve

2004 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2004 Columbia Crest Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable expression of the Columbia Valley, showcasing the region's exceptional terroir. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its deep crimson hue and enticing aromas of dark fruit, complemented by hints of cocoa and spice. On the palate, it exhibits a well-balanced structure, featuring medium acidity that adds brightness and liveliness. The tannins are notably firm, providing a robust backbone that supports the rich flavors, while the wine's prominent fruit intensity shines through, revealing layers of black cherry and blackberry. As you savor each sip, the wine finishes with a hint of dryness, making it a delightful companion for hearty dishes or enjoyable on its own.

Columbia Valley

Sheltered by the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley is home to the majority of Washington's vineyards. Cool nights keep zippy acidity in the grapes, while long daylight hours give the fruit plenty of chance to ripen. This results in full-bodied Merlot, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and deeply concentrated Syrah. White wines are just as tantalizing, with toasty oak-touched Chardonnay and ripe stone fruit-flavored Riesling taking the spotlight. Sub-AVAs to look out for are Yakima Valley and Walla Walla. The Columbia Valley is one of the only appellations in the United States to occupy vineyards in two states, as it crosses the Oregon border in the southern part of the valley.
