2022 Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley

From Washington’s warm-sun & cool-night Columbia Valley, this “Indian Wells” Cabernet is crafted in a ripe, New-World style — generous in flavor yet grounded. It opens with concentrated blackberry and black-cherry notes, wrapped in a lush, full-bodied texture that feels more expensive than it is. Trusted vineyards like Indian Wells and others across Wahluke Slope to Cold Creek supply the fruit, delivering depth and richness without going overboard.
