Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon "Columbia Valley" 2022

Deep rich eggplant hue with brooding aromas above the rim of "bready" bowl of jammy dark berry compote.

Palate--Hmm...An unremarkable first impression with sily structure, tightly wound fruit, and a fleeting finish. (just opened and needs to warm up... ). After warming up some it is fuller and more varietal which is what you expect when a wine comes to temp which is why you let it "open up" if you store it at cellar temp. which is 55 degrees F.

At the $12-$15 price point it is a decent Cabernet so raise a glass!
