Sipping Fine Wine

Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley. Pale lemon with aromas of stone fruits, oak and spices. On the palate simple flavors of apple and pear with toasty notes. Not overly complex this wine carries the fruit flavors to the finish with lively acidity on a medium ending.

Soft apple notes, but the oak doesn't taste like it's well integrated. The finish is like I licked an oak plank.

Fantastically drinkable. Nothing necessarily distinctive, but great overall.

Very good wine. Mellow, light but you can taste the fruity flavors. We had it with a salad and artichokes for dinner.
If you want a good Chardy at a good price, you won't go wrong with this choice.

Clean and well crafted, if a bit too sweet for me. Just fine for a warm-weather, open air get together in the park.

Enjoyed this wine especially after it approached room temperature. This was 2020 vintage at $8.

Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley. Was able to get another taste. Aromas of stone fruits, oak and spices. On the palate Apple and pear flavors with sweet toasty notes. Not overly complex this wine carries the fruit flavors to the finish with bright acidity on a medium ending.
