About the wine
A bold new vintage of pure Michaud magic
- This isn't a lookalike Napa Cabernet - Washington Cabernet is its own beautiful beast, full of fresh mint, ripe cherries and herbs. If you think you know Cab, just wait!
- Katy & Justin harvested these grapes from the Yakima Valley - the oldest official wine growing region in Washington - to bring you a full-bodied red with a nice bright pop.
- Like any big red, this wine gets better with time. Give it a few months if you can! But if you can't wait, we totally get it. The minute your eyes feast on this gorgeous label, resistance is futile.
Best before
I say drink it now. It is showing great fruit characteristics and some nice silky smooth tannins. It should age for 10 years. I tend to enjoy 4-7 years old but can vary from wine to wine. Cabs might tend to age a little better than some other varietals. If you like fruity, smooth, juicy, youthful wines just let it rest a week and then go ahead and enjoy.
Serving advice
First off, let it sit for at least a week after shipping. Then I say open it up and pour a small taste. If you like, go ahead and fill up. If it seems a bit tight, decant the bottle or let it sit for 30 minutes or more -- that will let it open up a touch.
Food match
I'm a fan of steak and Cab. I think this would be great with grilled T-bone, I like the bone-in idea. If you're not into red meat so much this would also be great with a nice grilled Portobello with a red wine reduction sauce, you could also use that sauce on the steak!

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!
