Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Horse Heaven Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Horse Heaven Hills

  The Olympian - February 9, 2011

There's a whiff of barrel smoke over the tropical hints of orange and banana. The palate screams with lime and grapefruit from start to finish, interrupted at the mid-palate by creamy banana from the 22 percent of the lot that's barrel fermented on the lees. Serve up a bowl of mussels and bring bread for the broth.

87 points - “Good Value”  Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine - February 1, 2011

Soft, rounded, melon-like notes are joined in the nose by wisps of white peach and dried straw, and there is a sense that perhaps the wine is in want of greater brightness. Not so in the mouth, however, where the energy shows through in melon-focused flavors tinged with a lemon zest vitality.

90 points - “Best Buy”  Wine Enthusiast - December 31, 2010

In 2009 this single vineyard offering includes 11% Semillon. It has wonderful texture, and a mix of light herbal flavors that run through a gamut from celery to lemongrass and up into tart citrus fruit. The acidity is generous but not searing; it penetrates but never overpowers. A quintessential food wine.
