點擊次數：6152

The 2006 H3 Chardonnay offers up toasty apple and pear aromas with a hint of tropical fruit in the background. Though short on depth and concentration, it is pleasant and a good value nonetheless. Columbia Crest, owned by Ste-Michelle Wine Estates, has long been known for the quality of its value priced wines.Tel. (509) 875-2061; www.columbia-crest.com

Columbia Crest, Washington state’s premier producer of value wines, has introduced a fourth tier into its lineup. Dubbed H3, the wines focus on fruit from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The grapes have optimal acid, and the flavors are ripe but firm. The fruit is a bit lean, but tangy, and there is an underlying minerality that adds persistence.——P.G.(12/1/2008)—— 88
