Chateau Ste. Michelle Artist Series
Crafted by Artists, Inside and Out
This limited-production, Bordeaux-style blend is an annual tradition built on an award-winning heritage. A bold and complex, yet highly refined red wine – its layers of dark fruit, herbs, and baking spices are balanced with depth and structure that make it very age-worthy. A true work of art.

2018 Artist Series
Columbia Valley2018 Artist Series Red Wine - Albero di Palaca
The 2018 vintage gave us a perfect combination of heat for ripening in the summer and a gradual cool down during harvest that allowed proper ripeness in the ideal timeframe. This year's blend is a special combination of Canoe Ridge Estate (39%), Cold Creek (26%), Kelly (18%), and Dineen (17%) Vineyards. The combination of warmer and cooler sites is the exact expression I look for in the Artist Series. The cooler sites provide dark cherry fruit, a touch of herbs and delicate harmony. The warmer sites give ballast and depth to add concentration and aging potential. This wine plays the perfect role of 'Old World' styling with "New World' structure.- Columbia Valley
