Tasting - Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay

 


Name: Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay 

Variety: 100% Chardonnay 

Region: Columbia Valley, Washington State  

Country: United States

Year: 2021

Price: $15

Wine Critic Review:  "Aromas of corn on the cob, melon and herb lead to just off-dry drinking flavors. The concentration seems lacking. Corn notes linger on the finish" (Sean P. Sullivan). 

Wine Folly: pg 96: One of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.  Chardonnay pairs best with subtle spices and flavors. For example, try matching it with creamy, buttery flavors and soft textures. Lobster is a winning match.

My Review: The smell was overly earthy, with the smell of pair also within it. It had a soft taste to it, with the wine tasting like a oaky pear.  

Would I Buy Again?: Yes. I liked the dryness the wine had to it.
