Description
From the prestigious vineyards of Long Island’s premier liquor store, the Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant, comes an exquisite selection sure to enchant the palates of wine connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Among the gems is the Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Cabernet, a 750mL testament to the art of winemaking. This wine is a prime example of the quality and elegance that Chateau Ste. Michelle, Washington State’s oldest winery, is renowned for.
Crafted in the Canoe Ridge Estate vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a reflection of the terroir’s unique character. The vineyard’s south-facing aspect and proximity to the Columbia River provide a moderated climate, perfect for ripening the Cabernet grapes to perfection. This results in a wine that is rich and complex, embodying the essence of the region.
Upon uncorking, you’re greeted with an aromatic bouquet of lush fruits mingled with hints of oak and spice—a precursor to the depth of flavors to anticipate. The palate is rewarded with layers of dark cherries, blackberries, and a hint of plum, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice from meticulous aging in oak barrels. This wine carries a robust structure with elegantly refined tannins, leading to a finish that is both lingering and harmonious.
Ideal for special occasions or as a thoughtful gift (especially when accompanied by the store’s custom wine engraving or presented in a fancy wine gift box for that extra touch of elegance), the Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Cabernet is more than just a bottle of wine. It’s a showcase of meticulous viticulture and winemaking, a celebration of the region’s bounty, and a delightful addition to any wine enthusiast’s collection or dinner table. Enjoy it with good company, savoring each sip as it complements fine dishes or stands splendidly on its own.
