Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Red Blend 2012
Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesWashington is famous for its merlot but this Indian Wells blend can impress. The 2012 blend is 43/43/6/4/2/2 merlot, syrah, grenache, malbec, cabernet franc, mourvèdre. The attack is warm and ripe with plenty of chocolate, mocha, spice and meaty hints. It slides down easily with a sweet oak assist. An appealing style for many sipper s if not so suited to food. Try this after dinner with a piece of cheese.Tasted: 03 June 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
