Triage Red Blend
Cam's pick for wine bargain of the year!
$15.00

Wine Details
Screams right out of the bottle with dusty notes of black cherry, sage and savory spice. The core is dark and inviting, with lush black fruit and seamlessly infused with fine grained tannins for a long and sweeping finish. Dynamite.

Here at headquarters, we define “Triage” as the process of going through all the wine samples that cross our desks every day. Earlier this year, we decided that we needed to undertake a similar process with our cellar: we had quite a few unused high-end Napa Valley productions, almost all of which were still unassigned a Lot number. We began our “Triage” task in earnest, and narrowed everything down to one ultra-premium blend, primarily from Atlas Peak, Oakville, and Yountville.

Pretty Good
This blend is not as good as the Lot 487 but still a bargain at this price point.

Outstanding flavor
This is a winner! Bright berries but dry , full of flavor with great finish. Has just enough acid. Outstanding.

Spectacular
I just opened my second to last bottle of this, and this already outstanding wine seems to have gotten even better. (After having purchased about 4 cases of this over the last 2 years, I'm crushed that there isn't more to buy.) This is absolutely gorgeous wine -- very balanced, and a finish that goes on forever. Compares favorably to plenty of $100 bottles.
Man, I hope they are working on the next Triage....

A very good value and finish
This wine is very good. I opened it, drank a glass, rubber stopped and placed in refg for 2 days. Set the bottle out to reach room temp, and drank with a friend. Very nice!
Wish could get more:)

Smooth Operator
I found this wine to be really nice in every aspect. Interesting nose, with unmistakable fine Napa dark fruit opens the glass followed by a cozy ultra smooth, steady source of dark fruit, little barrel and just a touch of acidity to keep things peppy. A very nice value for a thoughtful red blend.

Nice Blend
This wine is a perfect blend. I bought it at least twice. It does not disappoint at all. For the money it is a heck of a bargain.

The best I've had
This is the best wine that I have had here at CH. It is so good. I am sad it is sold out. Hopefully they find more of it or the next version of it is similar. What a great wine.

Smooth
This is very well knitted together and drinks easy. However it wasn't as bold as I expected/hoped it would be for the pedigree.

Good not great
I like this and was glad to try it, but wasn't blown away. Good value, but I like my reds a little bolder.

Very good
Another great blend from CH, this one is a bit lighter than some of the other blends from CH. Very smooth. A bit of fruit. Blueberry and graphite tones. I would rate it an 89. Good value.
