Chateau Ste. Michelle 2000 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay Washington
Winery: Chateau Ste. Michelle / Columbia Valley (WA)

A big and friendly wine, with plenty of forward fruit mingling flavors of citrus, apples and pears. There is a nice blast of vanilla too, the only obvious sign of new oak aging, but the impression overall is of crisp, clean elegance. Best Buy.
