Columbia Crest 2010 H3 Les Chevaux Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

This is Cabernet Sauvignon ,Merlot and Syrah filling out the blend. As with many of the H3 wines, vanilla is the strongest and most noticeable flavor. The fruit is compact, and it tastes like hard cherry candy. There is plenty of power, but not much subtlety. Robert Parker.

90 points Wine Spectator: Supple and spicy, with a plush-textured, dark-hued, blackberry-rich mouthful lingering against creamy oak notes on the long and polished finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
