2015 Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley Chardonnay
#nb-14-18
We have enjoyed many vintages of Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay over the years, and it has become a standby for the Chardonnay Queen and I when it comes to a value priced Chardonnay. The 2015 vintage is still available in the marketplace along with the 2016 Anniversary Edition, which is also a good choice.
The 2015 has a wonderful bouquet of tropical fruit, apple and a touch of citrus. The flavors are apple, pear, pineapple, and a touch of lemon. The wine has a rich creamy texture which leads to a fresh clean finish which lasts until the next sip. The alcohol content is 14%, and Norm's score is 88.
We recently enjoyed a bottle with friends as an aperitif with light appetizers. This wine is also well suited to seafood fare or a wide variety of other food choices. It will be a perfect companion this summer for grilled chicken salad.
price : $10 - $14
score: 88
