Wine of the Week: 2012 Chateau St. Michelle 'Indian Wells' Chardonnay

July 27, 2014

Wine of the Week: 2012 Chateau St. Michelle 'Indian Wells' Chardonnay

Chateau St. Michelle has been producing excellent value-based Chardonnays for many years. I've had probably the past five vintages of this wine and it never disappoints. This is one wine where there tends to be very little vintage variation year to year. Each year you get the same nice tropical fruit flavors with light cream and oak. You can find this great value at Costco or pretty much any local grocery store, including QFC, Fred Meyer, etc. Pretty hard to find a Chardonnay this good for around 12 bucks. ‪#‎chateaustmichelle‬

2012 Chateau St. Michelle 'Indian Wells' Chardonnay- Toasted oak and valilla with pear on the nose. Palate has pear, golden delicious apple, butter and cinnamon toast. Delicious and refreshing. Drink now. -90
