The 2016 Chateau Ste. Michelle 'Indian Wells' Red Wine is a blend of 54% Syrah, 27% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 4% Grenache, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon with very small portions Cabernet Franc, Cinsault, Barbera, and Mourvèdre. The wine delivers a wonderfully rich dark fruit bouquet with toasty oak accents. On the palate this is rich and viscous, showing a good sense of mid-palate viscosity. Black tea, blackberry compote and shades of milk chocolate all impress. This is a serious value.
