Reserve

2011 Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

The Columbia Crest Reserve 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning expression of the Red Mountain region, known for its unique terroir and exceptional Cabernet varietals. This full-bodied red wine showcases a rich, deep color that hints at the complexity within. With pronounced acidity, it offers a bright and lively mouthfeel that beautifully balances the fruit-forward profile. Expect prominent notes of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by subtle undertones of chocolate and spice. The tannins are firm yet refined, lending structure and depth to the wine, while its dryness allows for a smooth finish that lingers delightfully on the palate. Enjoying this Cabernet Sauvignon is a true indulgence, perfect for those special occasions or a cozy evening in.

Washington

With 18 recognized AVAs, Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. Most of these AVAs are located in the east, centered around the valleys of Walla Walla, the Columbia River and Yakima. The grape varieties that thrive here are numerous: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris all continue to make increasingly compelling wines. Washington wines thrive in dry, semi-arid conditions far from the Pacific Ocean and are protected from the Pacific Northwest rain shadow by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Washington owes its unique terroir to the historic Missoula Floods, which swept through the region 10,000 years ago, stripping away the earth and replacing it with sandy soils from modern-day Utah, Idaho and Montana.
