So, at the behest of the local rep for Chateuau Ste. Michelle, I decided to try this wine.  This wine has a severe overcurrent of coffee and toffee atop concentrated dark fruit.  While some might be able to discern the berry flavors, I get the toffee and coffee which remind me of Breyer's coffee ice cream and also remind me of toffee candy I had during my youth. 

Other than that, the finish stays with you for about a minute and this wine would go great with things like poultry other than chicken; I am making some duck today.

We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
