Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon & 13% Syrah, 1% Merlot & 1% Cabernet Franc. Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Columbia Valley, Washington, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and oaky spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with oak, and vanilla spice. Fine tannins, full body, medium+ finish ending creamy with fruit and oaky notes, Syrah added some richness. Nice value.

2021 vintage. Immediately hit with heavy aromas of oak, spice, berry, and a slight hint of leather. Shockingly smooth on the palette, flavors of dark cherry, with a lingering finish and defined texture. Paired well with NC Barbecue chicken and spicy potatoes. Decent go to Cab for under $25.

gift - CS from WA - smooth easy drinking, varietal typicity but definitely fruit focused, built for the masses

An okay Cabernet. Finishes with a tannic edge.
