Chateau Ste. Michelle Artist Series Meritage Red 1999

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesVery spicy, vanilla, black cherry, blackberry, coffee and black pepper aromas with hints of green bean and mint. Rich and concentrated with very peppery, spicy, vanilla cola, licorice, black cherry jam flavours and a cherry licorice cedary finish. Somewhat tight, grainy astringent tannins indicate this will need a minimum of 3 to 5 years to mature but worth a try. Great label design by Stanislaw Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtoya.Tasted: 07 April 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
