2016 Chateau Ste. Michelle 50th Anniversary Chardonnay
The other day we picked up a bottle of the 50th Anniversary Chardonnay from Chateau Ste. Michelle, which is always a household favorite with us. I asked the Chardonnay Queen to do the honors and report on this special edition of a wine we have enjoyed quite a bit over several vintages. So, the rest of this article is her report.
"When I saw the specially labeled Chardonnay from Ste. Michelle. I just had to try it! Chateau Ste. Michelle is a winery which produces a quality Chardonnay and has been a favorite of mine for many years. The nose opens with a bright green apple aroma, and the first sip provided a slightly citrus tinged apple-pear taste. There are lingering notes of spiciness, and just a hint of oak."
"The Chardonnay Queen gives this 50th Anniversary Chardonnay an 89. We enjoyed it with panko crusted chicken, sauteed asparagus, and a salad of romaine and tomatoes. I invite you to search out a bottle for your next occasion!"
score: 89
price: $9 - $11
