Canoe Ridge Estate Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon

2014

Drinking with Laura on one of the last nights in my apartment! Opening up this bottle while watching The King of Staten Island! A heavier cab..yum!

Bold: 75%, Smooth: 60% Dry: 85%, Soft: 60%

Made my wife happy on Mother’s Day. Dinner of lamb chops. It was decanted and aired for an hour.

I’ve had some chateau st Michelle wines in the past that were pretty pedestrian. This was very a very solid cab, with dramatic fruit but more subtlety. Would-have been even better with a decant, but still very good. Would buy again.

Black cherry and oak flavors. Baked goods with relevant spices. Good, but worth the price....questionable

Very jammy nose. Deceptive given the chalky, bone dry palate. Expected more, even for an everyday wine.

Solid, smooth, some cassis on the front, some tannin on the end. This drinks like a higher end Columbia Crest H3.

Fine Washington cab. Nice balance of fruit and tannins. Could sit a little longer.

Deep purple. Mellow and slightly alcoholic finish. Faint berries good for price point. Mid-tier
