Vintage: 2006

We enjoyed this juicy, refreshing white blend last night after dinner and after the kids went to bed. We spent a fun day at the beach (Honeymoon Island) today and this wine was one that would really go well with a picnic at the beach...I bought this wine a few weeks ago after having seen it recommended by several different people online, including our local paper, which featured it as the wine of the week recently. Back in April, we had the red blend by Columbia Crest Two Vines and really enjoyed it as well.

The aroma of the white blend was mostly pear and apple, but I also smelled a little banana. The taste was similar, primarily apple, pear, and melon...Very tasty and easy drinking. This wine is a great value at $9, but I've seen it priced even lower making it an excellent value. It compared very nicely to the Mark Davidson white blend that we have enjoyed recently. If you are just getting into wines, like me, you can't go wrong with the wines from Columbia Crest.
