Chateau Ste. Michelle 2007 Artist Series Meritage Columbia Valley

88 points  Wine Enthusiast - December 31, 2010

Essentially a reserve blend from the Cold Creek, Canoe Ridge, and Indian Wells vineyards, this offers pleasing, nuanced aromas of smoke and cherry, but seems to quickly thin out in the mouth...

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2006 Artist Series Meritage Columbia Valley

4 stars  Restaurant Wine - November 1, 2010

Best version of this wine in some years: supple, moderately rich, well balanced, and lightly tannic, with a smooth, long finish. It tastes of cassis, blueberry, toast, tobacco, and spicy oak. Excellent.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2007 Artist Series Meritage Columbia Valley

90 points  The Wine Advocate - August 31, 2010

The 2007 Artist Series Meritage is composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and the balance Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec aged for 20 months in 88% new French and American oak. According to veteran winemaker Bob Bertheau, they are “?looking for more elegance and more layers.” Opaque purple-colored, it puts out a nose of pain grille, pencil lead, Asian spices, incense, and assorted black fruits. Savory and structured but lacking the volume and breadth of the Ethos Cabernet Sauvignon, it is nevertheless an outstanding effort that will evolve for several years and drink well through its 20th birthday.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2006 Artist Series Meritage Columbia Valley

90 points - “Spectacular Washington Reds”  Wine Spectator - February 28, 2010

Firm, focused and generous with its ripe currant, plum and spice flavors, picking up a green tobacco note as the finish persists against refined tannins.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2006 Artist Series Meritage Columbia Valley

91 points  Wine Enthusiast - December 31, 2009

The Artist Series blend is quite Cabernet-centric in 2006—58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 6% Malbec and just a splash of Petit Verdot. Aromatic and loaded with sweet blackberry fruit, backed with black olive and clean earth, this polished effort shows excellent midpalate concentration and a nicely sculpted finish.
