Chateau Ste Michelle Canoe Ridge Estate Merlot

Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Estate Merlot is a sophisticated red wine from Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills AVA, crafted from vines planted in 10,000-year-old flood deposit soils. This elegant, medium-to-full-bodied Merlot is known for its deep ruby color and an aromatic profile of red plum, black cherry, and wild strawberry, often accented by notes of cocoa, vanilla, and cedar from aging in French and American oak. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, velvety texture with silky tannins and a balanced acidity that provides structure and a fresh finish. With alcohol levels typically ranging from 14.5% to 14.8%, this versatile wine pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes such as beef bourguignon, lamb, or veal roast.
