Columbia Valley
2011 Chardonnay
Columbia Valley
The goal is to make a pleasurable, food-friendly Washington Chardonnay. The 2012 vintage is fresh and soft with bright apple, sweet citrus and subtle spice and oak. We blend Chardonnay grapes from vineyards all over Columbia Valley to make this a complex and interesting wine. Sur lie aging in a mix of French and American oak barrels softens the wine and integrates fruit and oak flavors.

2011 Dry Riesling
The 2011 Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling is a crisp, dry and refreshing style of Riesling. It exhibits fresh flavors of white peach and mandarin orange, and ends with a clean finish. This is an incredibly versatile food wine and a favorite with oysters. Select lots of both warmer and cooler-climate Riesling create an elegant, dry style while maintaining beautiful fruit character.

2011 Harvest Select Sweet Riesling
Our 2011 Harvest Select Riesling is made in a slightly sweeter style than our Columbia Valley Riesling, but still shows the elements of this classic wine. It offers beautiful crisp varietal character with rich flavors of ripe pear and peach. The fresh fruit flavor and richness is balanced with crisp acidity to keep this Washington Riesling in harmony.

2010 Gewürztraminer
A fan favorite — an enjoyable wine with exuberant fruit and clove spice. This is a lush style of Gewürztraminer with lots of floral character, yet still maintains the grape’s natural crispness. The 2010 vintage was marked by a mild spring and cool summer, but a warmer September and October allowed grapes to reach optimum flavor ripeness. Sourced from our Columbia Valley vineyards.
