Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon

Welcome to the big leagues. Bring out your veal, duck, and filet mignon for Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Made in the same style as a left bank Bordeaux, Ste. Michelle blends their Cabernet with small amounts of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot, and sometimes even dashes of Syrah and Grenache. This makes for a well rounded wine – the blend is slightly different each vintage, hand crafted based on what the vineyards gave the winemaker to work with. What you get is a concentrated,complex fruit profile. A year in oak barrels (⅓ new oak) lend both a sturdy scaffolding and some added complexity of flavor. Worth every penny.
