Blackberries, spices, asphalt, and grilled oak aromas can be discerned in the nose of the medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Creek Vineyard. A backward wine, it appears more extracted than Chateau Ste.-Michelle's reds in previous vintages. Concentrated, thick, and dense, it reveals cassis, blackberry and licorice flavors in its juicy yet firm personality. Projected maturity: 2006-2014.
