Ch. Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Vineyard Chardonnay 2002
Chardonnay
from Columbia Valley, Washington
winemaker's notes:
A single vineyard Chardonnay with great press for under $20/bottle? This is why Washington is becoming a go to region for amazing value whites and reds.
"The 2002 Chardonnay Indian Wells is medium to full-bodied, lush, and extremely well-balanced. This plush effort is packed with buttered white fruits and honeyed minerals that linger in its long, seamless finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years."
-Wine Advocate
"Crisp, elegant and precisely focused to show off beautiful pear, Meyer lemon and toasted almond flavors, remaining lively through the long finish. Drink now through 2007."
-Wine Spectator
Golden Delicious apples, citrus, honey, spice and roasted hazelnut aromas leap from the glass. Flavors are rich and focused.
