Chateau Ste Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Merlot

Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Merlot is a rich, full-bodied red wine from the Columbia Valley, crafted from some of Washington State’s oldest vines planted in the early 1970s. This intense and concentrated Merlot is known for its broad-shouldered structure and deep color, offering a complex aromatic profile of black cherry, plum, and blackberry layered with notes of dark chocolate, mocha, and coffee. Often blended with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah to enhance its depth, the wine is typically aged in French and American oak to add nuances of vanilla and spice. Renowned for its significant ageability and powerful fruit intensity, it pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes like beef, lamb, or rich stews.
