Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon / 750 ml

Cabernet Sauvignon plus a small percentage of Merlot and Syrah adds up to a big "bang for the buck" experience. Black-cherry, dark-chocolate and orange aromas are flanked by wee bits of well-worn leather and roasted red bell pepper. The wine has grippy tannins and soft acidity to match up with gobs of blackcap-raspberry and blueberry flavors. Little touches of cedar and mocha powder add interest.
