2005 Columbia Crest Two Vines Shiraz


This Columbia Crest wine is produced with juice grown in Washington State, and they find a way to make me smile every time. Their Washington bottles continues to blow every other wine away when compared to other wines under $10. Often on sale for $4.99-$8.99, these wines make perfect case purchase to become another staple in your cellar.


The Shiraz, in particular, is stunningly complex given the price category. It consistently outperforms and exceeds my expectations. This wine has a pleasant bouquet of jam and mixed berry fruit and covers the palate with black cherry. You’ll also catch notes of soft pepper and spice, however, it is not overpowering.


Again, another star in the Columbia Crest Two Vines repertoire… well done.
