Columbia Crest H3 Merlot 2017, Horse Heaven Hills, Columbia Valley, Washington, United States: A consistently great Merlot from Columbia Crest's H3. The difference between daytime and night time temperatures in this eastern Washington state wine region is the reason why Merlots like this one are terrific and they can be even more rich and intense than their Cabernet Sauvignon based wines. H3 is a good example of a big, bold, juicy and full-bodied Merlot from this area. Smoky with dark plum, mulberry, savoury spice and mocha-vanilla flavours on the palate and dangerously smooth. So is the price. Drink: 2020-2024. 209874 14.50% D 750 mL  $22.95 Score: 92/100. March 19, 2021 Top Rated Red Wine. Delightful Duck Wine Full Review
