Columbia Crest H3 Les Chevaux Red Blend 2014

63% Syrah, 33% Merlot & 4% Viognier. This pitch black colored blend from Washington State is a very good value. It opens with an attractive blueberry and boysenberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and juicy. The flavor profile is a coffee and blueberry blend with notes of oak. I also detected hints of plum and faint chocolate covered cherry at the very end. The finish is dry and its moderate soft tannins linger and last for quite some time. This Syrah based blend is very food friendly and would pair nicely with beef bourguignon. Enjoy. Score - 90. (Ken Hoggins, kenswineguide.com, Oct. 31, 2017)
