Tasting note
This terrific Washington Cabernet blends French sensibilities with New World energy and vigour. Classic Cabernet with blackberry and cassis, mocha-espresso aromas from the oak and very balanced. Full-bodied and smooth. This Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet also includes [a] small amount of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Syrah in the blend. Pair with a pepper steak. Score - 92. (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, June 22, 2016)
This Cabernet from washington State packs a solid core of ripe, black fruits wrapped around silky, soft tannins. The finish is long and luxurious with a great balance between ripe fruit flavours and hints of toasty oak. Think grilled porterhouse or sirloin steak. Great value.
