Tight! Needs another 6 months for the Flavors to chill & unfold. Black currants, blackberries, leather. Medium tannins & good acidity with well-integrated oak.

Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Columbia Valley, Washington. Bright Ruby with black fruit and espresso aromas. Made from 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot, aged 22 months in 62% new French oak, showing cherry and coffee flavors on dusty tannins, nicely balanced ending with gentle spice and oak notes.

An enjoyable Cabernet. Lots of dark berry flavors and a slightly tannic finish. A good example of the Chateau St. Michelle Cabernets that I’ve grown to appreciate.

Neutral but drinkable. Left me wanting more...more flavor, more body, more complexity, more tannins...definitely missing something.
