z Talk About a Track Record! The Most Consistent Cabernet Comes from... Columbia Valley Washington! That’s right the Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley Reserve is consistently one of the best Cabernets produced each year. Just look at this amazing track record since 1998. WOW!!! Not only is it an exceptional track record but the value that this wine represents for the quality is exceptional as well. In recent years we have seen the demand for this wine increase and increase. Especially after it landed as the #1 wine of the Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2009.

The 2008 Vintage has just arrived and we expect that this little gem is going to continue its blockbuster track record with the Wine Spectator. In fact this just may be the vintage that ties or shatters the 2005’s 95 point review! Remember 2008 is widely considered to be Washington’s finest Vintage to date with the Wine Spectator rating the vintage overall: a possible PERFECT SCORE!

Buehler has once again knocked it out of the park and we have to say that Robert Parker is absolutely right. In the sea of Napa Valley pricey Cabernet Sauvignon, Buehler stands-out like a shining star for the quality and the price.

“A real steal and one of the greatest sleepers I have tasted from Napa (the Mecca for expensive Cabernet Sauvignons) is Buehler’s 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon from their vineyards in Napa Valley. There are only 1,800 cases of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, so this offering is likely to disappear quickly from the marketplace. It offers a dark ruby/purpletinged color, abundant black currant, licorice and smoky tobacco leaf characteristics, medium to full body, a supple, velvety style and impressive purity, texture and length. Consume it over the next 10+ years. 90.” WA 8/11.
