title: Columbia Crest 2008 H3 Les Chevaux Red Wine Red (Horse Heaven Hills)
description: A very different composition from the 2007 Les Chevaux, this year's blend is 34% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 8% Cabernet Franc and 8% Malbec. It's a tannic wine, and seems to put a lot of emphasis on the vanilla/tobacco flavors that characterize so many blended reds these days. Fair value, but somewhat generic.
variety: Red Blend
designation: H3 Les Chevaux Red Wine
