Chateau Ste. Michelle 2012 Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Canoe Ridge Estate
Variety: Chardonnay Washington
Winery: Chateau Ste. Michelle / Horse Heaven Hills

Aged in a mixture of French oak (32% new) and stainless steel, it shows the best of both with fresh peach notes and barrel spices intermingling with crème fraîche. It’s creamy in feel with the concentration winnowing slightly toward the finish.
