Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 Cold Creek Vineyard, Washington $28 What the Wine Critics thought: Wine Spectator 90 points
Ripe and focused Cabernet, generous with its supple currant and delicate herb flavors, which echo nicely on the open-textured finish. Tannins are soft and hardly evident. Drink now through 2003. What we thought: Soft and smooth, but filled with rich Cabernet aromas and flavors of cedar, blackberry and cassis on both the nose and palate this Cabernet is ready to drink now or cellar short term.
