Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet

Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Washington. WER Scores of 91 (Excellent Highly recommended).- www.wineenthusiast.com. This superb value strikes first with a marine-themed nose of a salty ocean breeze, a driftwood beach fire, blackberries, olive oil and a trace of bacon fat. Smooth and viscous, with dark plum and bittersweet chocolate-covered cherries coating the palate. — Michael Alberty,

The aromas are unmistakably Cabernet, bringing full-on notes of black currant along with dried herb and a kiss of spice. The flavors are ripe, luxurious and remarkably fruit forward, with the oak pleasantly dialed back. It shows plenty of richness in the middle. — Sean P. Sullivan, 9/1/2021
