Country: US / Cold Creek Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay Washington
Winery: Chateau Ste. Michelle / Columbia Valley (WA)
The Cold Creek Chardonnay is built upon 30-year-old vines, fully ripened at this warm site. Sensuous, soft and broadly laced with flavors of toasted nuts, brioche and apple pie, this luxurious Chardonnay still maintains a pleasing, focused structure that carries along flavors of lemon and apple, cut against the dominant oak. Cold Creek wines are among Washington’s most ageworthy.
