Columbia Crest 2014 H3 Sauvignon Blanc, Horse Heaven Hills, $15
By Great Northwest Wine on July 15, 2015
Best Buy! The historically hot and early vintage set the table for this fascinating and affordable Sauvignon Blanc from Washington state. Lovely aromas of gooseberry, lemongrass, lime, petrol and river rock lead to flavors of pear and wet stone, backed by Timothy hay and dried herbs. It’s finished bone-dry, yet the acid profile is far from aggressive. Suggested foods to serve with this include Dungeness crab, grilled halibut, goat cheese, vegetable quiche and potato salad.
