Chateau Ste. Michelle Merlot Indian Wells Vineyard 1995

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesComplex aromas of cassis, black pepper, violets, mint stewed plums. Rich and concentrated, it's a leaner Bordeaux style with tougher tannins. Lots of pepper, spice, mint, oak toast and cassis on the palate. Needs more time to soften and flesh out. Fine quality.
