The Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 is a bold, rich red wine. Flavors of dark cherry and chocolate abound on the dense and layered palate. This wine has a firm structure and is approachable, yet powerful. This wine would pair excellently with a seared beef steak, rich pasta dishes, and veal.

The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced exclusively from the Cold Creek Vineyard, which was planted in 1973 in the Columbia Valley. Cold Creek Vineyard is LIVE and Salmon Safe certified.
