Chateau Ste Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon

Spice-a hint of tobacco, a hint of milk chocolate-gives way to a ripe set of fruit flavors in this big shouldered, thoroughly seductive red. The texture is driven by fine, peppery tannins, which stem the tide of ripe, plummy fruit, giving the wine a touch of elegance even as it remains irrestible. It's drinking beautifully now; a by-the-case buy. 93 Points Wine & Spirits
