wine review: Columbia Crest H3 Cabernet Sauvignon $19.95 at LCBO

Ottawa, ON

May 2022

Matt’s review: There’s no surprise that this is Washington State’s best selling Cabernet at the LCBO, as it offers great value in a very crowd-friendly style. Loads of dark fruits, such as cherry, plum, cassis, along with dark chocolate, sautéed peppers, leather, and graphite. Dry and very approachable, it’s expressive, refreshing, and silky smooth, all the hallmarks of a wine perfectly suited for entertaining, and equally great when paired with tangy BBQ fare, stews, or pasta dishes. Tasted May 2022. 89 points. Matt Steeves – http://www.quercusvio.ca
