The Cabernet grape is an easy one to grow and harvest because it adapts to many different climates and environments. It has a very small berry or pip, which contains the juice, with a very thick skin that contributes the tannins to make a very big and well-structured wine. Typically, a Cabernet will be a rich, complex wine that occasionally needs some aging in order to soften up the tannins.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells, $19.99, from Washington State is a product of a warm climate resulting in a New World style of Cabernet that tantalizes the senses. A nose of dark fruit aromas, with ripe and bold flavors of blackberry and black cherry, this wine has a very lush mouthfeel with a firm finish with hints of cacao and sweet vanilla. A very impressive wine and a superb value, this wine outperforms many $40-plus Napa Valley Cabernets.
