Chateau Ste Michelle, Columbia Valley (Washington) Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Dec 7, 2011

By Paul Lukacs

 A good example of Washington State Cabernet, this wine suffers slightly in comparison to the very best renditions because it tastes overtly sweet, with bright red fruit flavors and a vanilla-tinged finish.  Certainly tasty, it lacks the depth of flavor to merit a 90+ rating, but then it does sport a very attractive price tag.
