Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay 2012
Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesConsistently old fashion which tells me in Washington State there is still a solid market for this mostly old-fashioned styled chardonnay. The nose is ripe with peachy, honey, vanilla aromas. The attack is ripe with sweet peach, resin and honey flavours with a firm butterscotch presence in the back end. Like last year this is a well-made, easy-sipping, old-style, American chardonnay. Try this with lobster.Tasted: 29 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $22.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
