Chateau Ste Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon is a smooth and dry red wine that is robust with its blackberry and black cherry flavors. Ripe aroma permeates the glass with quick legs that still offer a soft aftertaste. Dark red color represents ripe fruits and growing style. It is a red wine blend offering a unique taste of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Syrah, 2% Malbec,2% Petit Verdot, and 2% Mourv.  Cabernet Savignon is a strong tasting wine that doesn’t go well with light tasting dishes.
