Chateau Ste Michelle 2005 Vineyard Select Malbec

Over the past 2 years, I have found that Argentina produces the best malbec. Don't know why (yet), but they are very good at making malbec. For that reason I usually shy away from American malbecs. However, Chateau Ste. Michelle is a VERY solid wine producer. They seem to be good at almost everything that they make. So, I'll give it a try.

Dark purple with an aroma involving dark berries, this wine is solid. It probably could use a little more time in the cellar but overall a very good choice. The South American wines are still better, though.
