Two Vines Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 - Columbia Crest

Columbia Crest's Two Vines Cabernet Sauvignon is a soft, balanced Washington State red wine cuvée that combines Cabernet Sauvignon (95%), Merlot (4%) and Shiraz (1%) grape varieties. 

In the glass, this wine shines in a dark red with cherry-coloured highlights. The bouquet reveals a fruity aroma of juicy cherries and ripe blueberries. Fine nuances of oak wood accompany this. With a gentle balance and balanced body, this American red wine convinces the palate. The fruit fullness harmonizes wonderfully with subtle roasted notes and delicate hints of dark chocolate. The enduring finale comes with a nice length.
