Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Indian Wells Merlot Columbia Valley

86 points  Wine Enthusiast - February 1, 2011

Forward and spicy, this puts some muscle into the Merlot with earthy, tongue-gripping tannins. The fruit has a sweet tomato flavor, with a streak of cherry candy. Though not entirely knit together, it’s a pleasant drink best enjoyed young. (online review)

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Indian Wells Merlot Columbia Valley

  The Arizona Republic - December 22, 2010

Merlot has often been the whipping boy of wine. But point of fact: There are more great Merlots available now than ever. It has a dark and stormy look, with aromas of wood, spice red, black-raspberry and red-currant tones. The taste is drier that you would expect, with smooth tannins and a nice berry finish.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Indian Wells Merlot Columbia Valley

90 points - “Smart Buy”  Wine Spectator - December 15, 2010

Dark and rich, this is smoothly packed with blueberry, plum and currant fruit that picks up white pepper and floral notes on the finish. Lingering easily, this should hold nicely.
