Chateau Ste. Michelle Merlot Cold Creek Vineyard 1998

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesBarnyard cherry menthol tobacco aromas with a dose of pepper spice. Its smooth round texture belies the tannin and structure laying weight. More pepper, more earth, more spice and less of the cherry coal. Stylish and you can drink it now with food but it will hold the best. Try over the next decade.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
