The 1993 Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a gorgeous dark garnet color and an intensely ripe, refined and elegant nose of cassis and blackberries. On the palate this is a well-defined, deep, powerful, full-bodied wine packed with black fruits and hints of eucalyptus. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2007.
Chateau Ste. Michelle's wines are for the most part beautifully made, well-structured and well-defined. While not all of its offerings can be recommended, it amazes me that a large operation can maintain such high standards.
