aThere are weeks where a bottle of wine will last me 3-4 notes, when I just want to slowly enjoy one small glass. I opened it on Sunday and finished it on Wednesday. I made sure it was sealed well with a stopper and I was surprised at how well this wine lasted.
The William Cole Columbine Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, was a single vineyard wine from the Colchagua Valley of Chile. A deep red with a complex nose that gave hints of berries, chocolate and coffee. It had noticeable tannins and a really long finish. Perfect for the savoring of one glass.
Named after Columbine systems in Colorado and the state flower, it retails for around $18 a bottle and was a wine I really enjoyed. Thanks to the Wines of Chile for sending it to me!
