I'm a fan of wines from the Horse Heaven Hills of Washington. I discovered this region through Columbia Crest and their series of wines from this Washington sub-region and since I have been looking for and tasting wines from there every chance I can; this one I picked up on my recent trip to Florida. After a spectacular dinner at Hillebrand with my wife and our weekend guests I thought I'd pull this one out to share in one of my wine-obsessions ... my "niece" and her boyfriend were in town and their
interest in wine is just starting to hit a fewer pitch, meaning they'll try
everything and anything just for the experience (yes I am still talking about
wine here). This wine proved to be just what the doctor ordered for a
night cap ... lots of blueberry and raspberry on the nose followed up on the palate with blueberry, cocoa and spice - the wine proved itself to be dry and spicy in the best of ways and it was a nice capper to the night ... that is until I said, "hey let's try one more ... how about a dessert
wine?" And it was only fitting that I pulled out a chilled bottle of
Hillebrand 2004 Late Harvest Vidal ... to read about that one you'll have to click here, and you'll want to, cause it was a real beauty.
