Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon – Columbia Valley – Red – 2019:

 

The Iconic Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon

Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark for Washington State winemaking. Hailing from the region’s oldest and most acclaimed winery, this red wine masterfully balances the concentrated fruit of the New World with a classic, elegant structure. The unique Columbia Valley climate-defined by hot days and cool nights-ensures slow, even ripening, resulting in grapes that retain vibrant acidity while developing exceptional flavor depth.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep, intense garnet.
• Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, and plum, beautifully framed by complex undertones of cedar, tobacco leaf, and mocha from expert oak aging.
• Palate: Full-bodied and supple, the palate delivers a concentrated burst of dark fruit. Silky, refined tannins provide a velvety texture and a robust structure, leading to a long, satisfying finish with hints of sweet spice and espresso.

Pairing & Serving

This premium Cabernet is built for the American table. Decant briefly and serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C) to fully express its depth.

• Suggested Pairings: Perfectly Grilled Ribeye Steak, slow-smoked BBQ Brisket, or a gourmet blue cheese burger.
