RE: Cabernets under $35 tasting...

Posted by triodesteve on February 23, 2016 at 08:16:53:
I am going to grab a couple of these because I am so out of touch with the price point. I can't imagine what a 1o dollar Cab tastes like. The H3 comes specifically from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA (at least I assume) where it is very hot and dry. Windier than other spots as its near the Columbia Gorge where wind comes racing thru. As a rule that usually means tougher skins and more tannins.
But it's carrots that made the area an agricultural powerhouse. In the fall I see truck after truck of bright orange carrots being driven from the wash station. There is also garlic, onions, and potatoes grown around the area.
What always strikes me about the place is that are very few people. The "town" where I get my Cab has a sign that says population 34. And thats the big burg!
