2004 Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Creek Vineyard

Good bright ruby-red. Ripe dark fruits complemented by nutty, chocolatey oak on the nose. Sweet, lush and accessible, offering a major belt of plum and chocolate flavor sexed up by enticing oak. A firmly tannic, solidly structured wine with considerable suavity. In today's world, this is a distinct cabernet bargain.
