Horse Heaven Hills

The 2007 was a Double Gold Winner for the Seattle Wine Awards. It promises big fruit, cassis, herbes de Provence, lingering milk chocolate and toffee. Wine Spectator gave it 90 points in its December 15, 2010 issue.

We'll see what the 2008 does.

UPDATE: tasting was brilliant. Big mouthful of fruit on the tongue. Well structured. Nicely balanced. The toffee/milk chocolate finish was very pleasant. This one was a success at our EPGTC tasting.
