The elegant Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley from the house of Chateau Ste. Michelle flows into the glass with bright purple.

On the palate, the Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley from Chateau Ste. Michelle starts wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. Balanced and multifaceted, this silky red wine presents itself on the palate.

In the finish, this youthful from the Washington wine region finally inspires with good length. Once again, hints of plum and black cherry show through. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sand and volcanic rock join in.
