NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Chateau Ste.Michelle Artist Series Meritage offers an inviting and complex aroma of dark fruits, such as blackberry and blueberry, intertwined with notes of espresso and cedar. On the palate, the flavor is well-balanced and deeply layered, with hints of blackberry jam, cassis, and baking spices. The tannins are firm but not harsh, and the finish is long and persistent. Enjoy this bold red with aged cheeses and roasted meats.
