Wine of the Month

Wine Maker of the Month - Chateau Ste Michelle

Picture
Chateau Ste. Michelle’s vineyards are all located in Washington state’s renowned
Columbia Valley.

The Columbia Valley American Viticulture Area (AVA) is a region separated from Seattle’s rainy, marine climate by the Cascade Mountains. The mountains shield the rain, limiting annual rainfall to 6-8 inches, allowing our vineyard managers to control vine vigor through irrigation. During the summer, daytime temperatures hover in the mid-80’s under sunny skies; cool nighttime temperatures in the fall protect the grapes’ natural acidity and provide perfect conditions for ripening. The resulting grapes develop intense aromas and flavors and create the distinctive sensibilities of Washington state wines.



Wine Reviews:

Columbia Valley 2007 Merlot - Special Price $11.99 750ml reg $15.99

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2007 Columbia Valley Merlot “100 Best Wines of the Year- Best Merlot ”  Wine & Spirits - October 14, 2011

This shows the best aspects of the wonderful Washington '07's- energy, elegant fruite, persistence - adorned by a little bit of bottle age. It has taken on notes of carob, creosote and cedar, and it is those earthy, savory elements that give the wine tremendous complexity for the price. For the lean cut of meat, like skirt steak. (Previously scored 93 points and Best Buy)

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2007 Merlot Columbia Valley “Recommended wine pairing ”  Food & Wine - November 1, 2011

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Chardonnay Columbia Valley   Snooth.com - July 9, 2011

Trending Wines: June 2011. Top 10 most searched Chardonnays - Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Chardonnay Columbia Valley ...I have to tip my cap to Chateau Ste. Michelle, which managed to get on the lists with two different wines - quite an accomplishment when you think of it!


Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Chardonnay Columbia Valley   Kitsap Sun - April 24, 2011

With Ann Vogel's "Stuffed Iowa Chops" and their apple glaze and apple stuffing, we recommend Chateau Ste. Michelle's 2009 chardonnay. Head winemaker Bob Bertheau describes the wine as food-friendly, with bright sweet citrus fruit character, subtle spice and oak nuances.


Columbia Valley 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon - Special Price $11.99 750ml reg $15.99

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley “Years Best Cabernet 2011”  Wine & Spirits - December 1, 2011

Spice - a hint of tobacco, a hint of milk chocolate - gives way to a ripe set of fruit flavors in this big shouldered, thoroughly seductive red. The texture is driven by fine, peppery tannins, which stem the tide of ripe, plummy fruit, giving the wine a touch of elegance even as it remains irresistible. It's drinking beautifully now (previously scored 93 6/11)

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 87 points  Wine Enthusiast - May 1, 2011

The aromas are firm and appealing, a good mix of black cherry and black currant, with a hint of garden soil. The mouthfeel is young and still taut, showing raspberry along with cherry fruit, and some stiff but well-managed tannins.
