Chateau Ste. Michelle Artist Series Meritage 750ml

"(15% alcohol; a five-variety Bordeaux blend based on 65% cabernet sauvignon):  Aromas of currant, cherry, spicecake and nutty oak.  Suave, smooth and ripe, with redcurrant and spice flavors complemented by new oak.  Harmonious acidity gives balance and shape to the wine.  Finishes with slightly edgy oak tannins and excellent length.  Very good wine, but I'd still like to be able to see this fruit with a bit less lumber. 90(+?) points"
