INDIAN WELLS CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2014 Columbia Valley |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHATEAU STE. MICHELLE |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, baked black cherry nose with lots of cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, harmonious, slightly spicy, intense, gently maturing, ripe plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, cedary, fairly high acid, somewhat smoky, faint cassis-tinged finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar with lot number 16081 on the lower part of the glass bottle. With only 5.4 g/L total acidity, it is probably nearing its peak of drinkability and is quite versatile with wide appeal. |

TASTING NOTE: During the growing season, Washington actually sees an average of two hours more sunlight per day than California, and Wahluke Slope, where 40% of the grapes for this wine were sourced, is one of its warmest regions. Combine that with a picture-perfect growing season in 2014 and you have a juicy, delicious wine full of dark fruit, mocha and dark chocolate, with notes of coffee and vanilla from the 14 months in 51% new American and French oak.
