Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Canoe Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Canoe Ridge Estate
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Chateau Ste. Michelle / Horse Heaven Hills

A fine bottle — full, fleshy, immediately throwing out dense aromatics with toast and roasted coffee and bitter chocolate components. A deep vein of black cherry and cassis keeps the core tight and focused, and a small splash of Syrah adds the scent of black pepper.
