Chateau Ste. Michelle
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon



Costco. Prior to aerating properly this was a little drying and oaky, and this wasn’t so good. However, following a bit of time to breathe and aerate, this was very enjoyable. Fruits and redcurrant and cherries came out, with a bit of an oaky dryness on the finish but not too significant.

Soft mouth feel, balanced body. Good advisory but still smooth and balanced with fruit. Pleasant. Didn't pair well with almond biscotti.

I usually love this wine as a inexpensive but constantly good tasting cab.... this year is trash. Heavy tobacco nose, overly dirt flavored and more harsh than usual. I actually poured out the rest of the bottle. I'll try one again next year

Sep 10th, 2023Deep ruby in color; plums, blackberries, and oak on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like black cherries, black plums, and a little black pepper with a long finish.

2019 vintage. Fine, but not as good as the 2020 Indian River blend from the same winery
