Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay Indian Wells Vineyard 1996
Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThe Columbia River once flowed over the Indian Wells site explaining its river gravel/sand composition. One of the earliest vineyards picked in the state, it has spicy cinnamon citrus aromas on the nose. Plenty of up-front honey and lees on the palate. Again wonderful elegance and balance with a long, toasted, lees finish. Very pleasurable wine that's loaded with class. Great value.
