Chateau Ste. Michelle 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
#1 Top 100 Best Buy 2021
Return to List 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
