Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Indian Wells Chardonnay Columbia Valley

  East Oregonian - June 11, 2011

...filled with pineapple and other tropical fruit flavors. The structure of this wine had so many layers to it, that it was clearly a wine to be served with seafood in creamy, rich sauces.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Indian Wells Chardonnay Columbia Valley

“Best Chardonnay under $20. Best Washington Wines 2011.”  Seattle Magazine - April 1, 2011

The 2008 vintage has been touted as one of the best for white wines in Washington. A cool spring created great acidity and smaller berries that developed slowly, while a hot summer brought ripe lushness to the fruit but with a pleasantly lower alcohol level. This 100 percent Chardonnay—a mix of fruit from vineyards mainly on the Wahluke Slope in Grant County, including Indian Wells Vineyard—is made in Woodinville in the New World style, aged in French oak barrels with some malolactic fermentation and seven months of sur lies, giving it a nose of tropical fruit and butterscotch, making it that big, buttery Chard so many people love.

  Tri-City Herald - February 9, 2011

The bulk of this crop comes from the Wahluke Slope, and the production shows a tasty balance of orchard fruit and time well spent in barrel. Golden Delicious apple and pear aromas include notes of vanilla, toffee and lemon zest. It's juicy with flavors of apricot and sweet pineapple, backed by lingering acidity and wrapped up by a piece of Werther's Original.
