Michaud Quintessence Washington Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
About the wine
Vibrant, rich Cab from your favorite Washington winemaking duo
One whiff of this bold red and you’ll have visions of ripe blackberries and cherries...take a sip, and the smooth textures and velvety finish will keep your tongue wanting more.
Katy and Justin got first-rate fruit from the highly-sought-after Red Mountain region – but thanks to Angel support, and their connections, they snagged grapes to make you this sultry red for a serious steal.
...but don’t wait long to scoop up this Washington Cab! It’s a limited release...so grab one bottle to age a few years, and another to enjoy now...ideally with a cut of juicy steak with shallots and mushrooms. (Are you salivating yet?)
Best before
We like this wine now! If you're patient and want to wait, this wine is sure to reward you. We would think this wine could age nicely for a 7 years... but 3-5 years would be ideal!
Serving advice
Decant this bottle. It opens up if you let it breathe for a few hours before consuming.
Food match
Steak, smoked salmon or the veg version would be grilled mushrooms with some kind of soy glaze.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Justin & Katy Michaud
Katy and Justin Michaud are two of Washington's most talented young winemakers – the folks behind award-winning wines at Canoe Ridge, Kim Crawford, Covey Run and Coyote Canyon.
They’ve had huge success individually - and thanks to Angels, this husband-wife duo are creating their own wines together (for the first time ever!) They’re psyched to join forces and introduce more spectacular cool-climate wines to Angels across the US.
Washington produces vibrant, fruit-driven wines that you just can't capture in California – the moment we tasted Katy and Justin's wines we knew we were onto something that would give Napa a run for its money!
