WTN: Wine #2 in my Wash. Wine Adventure

2008 Columbia Crest H3 ( Horse Heaven Hills) Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm obviously starting at the lower tier but this is again a very nice wine. Lots of spice and black fruits ( not cassis) in a very approachable way. As I sip, while writing this, the wine has smoothed out even more, indicating to me this is a wine for near term consumption which is just fine with me. I will buy more to fill out a case as needed.

You captured the wine well. A very serviceable, drink-now wine, and decently priced for what it is. Less gobby and true to the grape than most of their most expensive bottlings, too.
