2015 Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon

#04-19

I love Cabernet Sauvignon, and even in the winter, I can be seen outside with the grill burning a thick steak to go along with a nice bottle of Cab inside.  You know the saying, "a Slab and a Cab".  I know it's not quite poetry, but it's nearly scripture!

We opened a bottle of 2015 Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Cab to go with our latest winter steak burn, which happened to be a New York Strip.  The nose on this Cab was powerful with scents of cherry and other dark fruit.  The flavors swirled through the glass in a tango of black cherry, dark berries and touch of plum.  This is a big, thick, fruit wine, with enough oak in the finish to carry it through the night.  The taste begs for another sip!  The alcohol content is 14.5% and Norm's score is 90.

The Indian Wells Cab is great with a Slab, and would make a good companion for Italian veal dishes as well.

score: 90

price: $16 - $19
