Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Artist Series Red Meritage (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Artist Series Red
Variety: Meritage Washington
Winery: Chateau Ste. Michelle / Columbia Valley (WA)

Smooth and supple, this five-grape Bordeaux-style blend is almost two thirds Canoe Ridge estate fruit from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, the rest Cold Creek Vineyard Merlot. Lovely aromas of sandalwood, spice and cocoa lead into a textural wine, with seamless fruit and barrel flavors.
