"...Ripe and juicy, it’s a more tropical style than the others from Ste. Michelle, but still maintains the acid backbone to qualify as racy..."
-Wine Enthusiast

This is the debut of our Indian Wells Riesling. At Chateau Ste. Michelle we are passionate about Riesling and are pleased to add this tropical style of Riesling to our diverse Riesling line up. The 2005 Indian Wells Riesling exhibits fruit-driven aromas of ripe, juicy pineapple, peach and mango and is rich and unctuous, while maintaining a crisp, well-balanced style that is typical of Washington state Riesling.

 I would buy this wine again
Crisp and clean, this riesling refreshes and delights with an ethereally light sweetness. Excellent with salads and the lighter fare of spring and summer.

A Customer - morgantown, wv
This riesling is close to the best I have ever encountered. It is light, delicate and fruity. Sweet, but not overly so. I highly recommend this wine for enjoying with salads or desserts.
A Customer - Chicago
So light and refreshing - awesome value.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
Collectible wine
Collectible
These wines will improve from additional bottle age, when properly stored, and may show the greatest potential to increase in value.

Boutique Wines
These wines are made in limited quantities and are typically produced from single vineyard sources or made by small, artisanal wineries. While the winery may produce larger quantities, we limit wines with this designation to a 1,000 case production.
