Scented with an intriguing mix of herbs and chocolatey spices, this wine is a deep, dark version of Washington Merlot from Chateau Ste. Michelle's best vineyards. The fruit is solid cherry; there's lots of toasty oak, and the big tannins are smoothed out so that they find the proper balance. There's plenty of acid to keep the wine lively, and all it needs at this point is time to blend together.

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
