Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Valley (Washington) Cabernet Sauvignon “Indian Wells” 2009

($18):  Chateau Ste. Michelle consistently turns out wines that deliver far more than the prices suggests.  This harmonious wine marries red and black fruit flavors with intriguing subtle herbal, almost minty, notes.  Not overdone, it speaks to you instead of screaming at you.  Silky suave tannins give support and allow you to enjoy this wine without further aging. 90 Michael Apstein Aug 16, 2011
