Chateau Ste. Michelle
Indian Wells Columbia Valley Chardonnay
This is okay. Loads of vanilla but enough acidity it’s not overwhelming

Apr 3rd, 2018Really enjoyable WA Chard with baked buttery apple notes and moderate oak that takes backstage. Velvety body with almost a glycerin viscosity. Under $20 here in CT, but you can probably find it for $15 or under in your state. Definitely worth picking up at either price.

Dec 5th, 2017On the nose all I was getting was oak, butter and clove with no signs of fruit. On the palate I got those same notes with some lovely fruit notes of apples and lemon zest. Smooth and round, medium-plus body with a long finish.

I normally am not a huge Chardonnay fan but this wasn’t too oaky for me and pretty light and smooth.

A wonderful surprise, I bought this at 50% off and was delighted by how refreshing it was. Honeydew and citrus wonderfully balaanced with just the right acidity. Paired well with aged cheese.

May 31st, 2018Pale golden yellow color with plenty of legs. Soft viscous mouth feel with light oak, floral & lemongrass on the nose. Lovely apple, pineapple on the palate with an easy oak finish. We enjoyed this Washington chard (salmon salad & roasted vegetables).
