# 1 BEST BUY 2021 – WINE ENTHUSIAST

"Chateau Ste. Michelle is a pioneer of Washington wine country; it was established just after Prohibition was repealed and gained fame in 1967 when wine legend André Tchelistcheff introduced a premium line of wines for the winery. While there are plenty of top notch premium wines being produced in Washington, some in the upper tier of pricing, one of the remarkable things is the outstanding value you can still get from the region... we are talking huge bang for your buck.

Which brings us to today’s wine: the 2018 Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon, which was just named the #1 wine in Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Best Buys of 2021! This list ‘ranks the most attainable, buzzworthy, well-priced and simply delicious pours available.’ Reviewer Sean P. Sullivan notes that the wine's ‘flavors are ripe, luxurious and remarkably fruit forward.’ This top value wine is only $14.99, so this incredibly easy-to-drink everyday Cabernet is also easy on the wallet! Stock up because it's a terrific weeknight red and it would be great to have on hand for parties!" – Glen Knight, The Wine House

91 Points: #1 Best Buy 2021: "The aromas are unmistakably Cabernet, bringing full-on notes of black currant along with dried herb and a kiss of spice. The flavors are ripe, luxurious and remarkably fruit forward, with the oak pleasantly dialed back. It shows plenty of richness in the middle." – Sean P. Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast (September 2021)
