In this beautifully sculpted 2018 vintage, we have a fantastic marriage of varietal, site and year. The raciness of the varietal comingles with the weight and depth of the vintage. The wine starts with wonderful blackberry and dark chocolate flavors and finishes with a touch of baking spice and vanilla.

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.

This grape is typically blended with other Bordeaux style varietals and contributes structure, dark color and weight to a wine. On its own, the purity of fruit presents hints of tangy blackberry with herbal notes of anise and black tea.

Hooray, for another Gamay! We got our hands on one of the few Washington Gamay plantings from Carousel Vineyard. This wine saw carbonic fermentation in a concrete pyramid and was blended with some whole cluster stainless steel fermented Gamay lending flavors of red fruit and cinnamon.

Much of the fruit for our Block 9 Merlot is sourced from vineyards with particularly course, sandy soils. These conditions are seemingly lifeless and inhospitable, yet produce a wine with dark, sinewy layers of flavor and concentrated fruit. Light pepper notes provide a top-end flourish to accompany the long finish.

Bright brambly raspberry and blackberry aromas leap out of the glass followed by candied orange peel, delicate allspice and cedar, and a kiss of vanilla. The flavors are bright and vibrant with juicy ripe strawberries and citrus notes. A silky smooth entry and gives way to a pleasing soft finish.

This flavorful red wine is a fresh take on a classic Rhone-style blend. Bright brambly raspberry and blackberry aromas leap out of the glass followed by candied orange peel, delicate allspice and cedar, and a kiss of vanilla. The flavors are bright and vibrant with juicy ripe strawberries and citrus notes.

Brisk fall days are just better with this wine’s crisp refreshing finish. This inaugural release is a tribute to that special time of year, the harvest season and all things fall! Cozy up with aromas of tangerine and distinctive allspice. Bring on sweater season and layer up with honeydew melon and lychee fruit.

My Old World style vineyard is a natural for beautifully sculpted, complex red blends. This one was crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon (47%), Merlot (23%), Syrah (14%), Malbec (14%) and Cabernet Franc (2%). Five varietals from one Estate vineyard make for a harmonic statement that I enjoy crafting every year.

This is a lighter, fresher style of Muscat Canelli than we have made in years past. The wine still has the beautiful tropical fruit and floral notes that are characteristic to this variety but the wine is drier and much more food friendly. Crack open a bottle for any occasion!

The perfect wine for your getaway. Expressing with fruit forward melon and peach but the richness gives it versatility that surpasses its peers. Pair with sunshine on the lake or flurries of snow on your favorite mountain.

Viognier is one of my favorite varietals to work with. This aromatic grape lends notes of citrus blossom, mandarin, honey and graham cracker. Fermented in neutral oak, you’ll find the perfect balance of fruit, texture and weight on the palate.

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.

Often overshadowed by its hotter neighboring appellations, the Yakima Valley is smattered with slopes, swales, and canyons that produce an exceptional gradient of wines. 59% Merlot offers a rich, structured base while 39% Syrah complements with layers of red fruits and wild peppercorns.

Like a chameleon, Chenin Blanc retains its distinctive identity, but also echoes its surroundings. This unique characteristic allowed the winemaker to capture a remarkable vintage and use wine from concrete, barrel and stainless steel to create the most complex wine possible with a balance of liveliness and lushness.

This C.S.M. is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, with a touch of Muscat Canelli. The Chenin Blanc offers bright, fresh melon while the Sauvignon Blanc throws in citrus and minerality. The Muscat Canelli adds a little honeysuckle for intrigue.

Like a song, our summer is beautiful and short-lived. So, spread your wings into the sunlight as you savor the crisp citrus and ripe apricot notes of this smooth white blend. Pair with your favorite vinyl record or outdoor concert and toast to Chateau Ste. Michelle’s 40th anniversary of the Summer Concert Series.

We crafted this luscious red blend with a warm summer day, some live music, and a picnic blanket in mind. We chose vineyards that express themselves early and pushed the fermentations toward a lighter, fresher profile. It is lively, fruity and juicy while also having a satisfying smooth and rich palate.
