2010 Artist Series Box Set

Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Artist Series Meritage red wine celebrates the inspired collaboration between artisan winemaking and fine art. The 2010 featured artist Ben Darby merges whimsy with sharp wit, and nostalgic, childhood iconography with technical virtuosity. Darby’s proprietary acrylic technique lets the paint burst from the canvas in bright, three dimensional textures. The result is something vibrant, layered and nuanced – a delightful parallel to the style of wine.

Artist Series is the ultimate sculpted wine created by blending the best of Washington fruit. The 2010 represents a larger percentage of Cold Creek Cabernet than in previous years (85%). The cooler 2010 vintage gave us power and elegance. The wine delivers black cherry aromas and spice notes with velvety tannins. Fruit from our Canoe Ridge Estate vineyard rounded out the blend for a layered, complex and harmonious wine.
