Horse Heaven Hills2019 Limited Release Canoe Ridge Estate Red Wine Blend
Capturing the breathtaking beauty and comforting warmth of our Canoe Ridge Estate vineyard in a red blend is a task any winemaker would gladly undertake. Many varieties thrive on Canoe Ridge and this year I found the perfect combination of Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet and Syrah.- Columbia Gorge
2019 Limited Release Fringes Pinot Noir
Delicate and delectable, this wine is remarkably elegant. Pomegranate aromas with forest moss undertones are chased by vibrant acidity. A tip-toe of gentle, seamless tannins keeps this wine fresh to the last drop. - Columbia Valley

2018 Artist Series Red Wine 3-Bottle Gift Box
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

2017 Artist Series Red Blend 3-Bottle Gift Box
THE ART
Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Artist Series red wine celebrates the inspired collaboration between artisan winemaking and fine art. The 2017 vintage labels showcase artist, Tony Angell. His interest in birds began in childhood and he has continued to work and rehabilitate wild species, including birds of prey, crows and ravens.
THE WINE
The year 2017 was a warmer vintage, but not hot for Washington state. Early bud-break and a relatively cool spring allowed for a nice, full growing season into October. Looking for the fresher, more complex wines, we turned to our Canoe Ridge Estate vineyard. At 77% it is the largest this vineyard has ever been in the Artist Series; the site is maturing before our eyes, making the perfect combination of density and restraint. Another portion, 13%, is from Dean Canyon Vineyard, which is blended with Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon from Lawrence Vineyard (10%). This fruit brings color, weight and a touch of herb notes. This 25th anniversary vintage of Artist Series is going to be very special. Enjoy! - Columbia Valley
