When I think of Washington’s Columbia Crest label, I think consistent quality and remarkable bang for your buck.  Exhibit A to this theory is represented by 2010 Columbia Crest H3 Cabernet Sauvignon.  The true Value Wine of this list, the 2010 H3 Cab Sav retails for a modest $15.99.  If you prefer your Cabs medium bodied but full flavored and refined, you can look no further.  A nose of darkcherries followed by an earthy finish with just a hint of cocoa, this Big Red has been rated at least 90 points by one or more of the major critics 5 out of 6 consecutive years, and the 2010 H3 Cab Sav was no exception.  This 2010 vintage was rated a very impressive 90 points by Wine Spectator, which described the Columbia Crest Cab as follows: “Polished and distinctive, offering chocolate and espresso accents around a supple core of cherry and fresh currant fruit.  The finish is well-defined, with a silky
feel.”  At this price, grab a case!
