Chateau Sainte Michelle 2006 Chardonnay - White Wine

White Wine by Ch. Ste. Michelle from Columbia Valley, Washington. My goal vintage after vintage is to make the Columbia Valley Chardonnay a pleasurable, food-friendly Chardonnay. This 2006 bottling is a fresh, soft Chardonnay with appealing sweet citrus fruit character with subtle oak nuances. I work with vineyard lots from all over the Columbia Valley to make this a complex, interesting wine. This is a versatile food wine that can work with many foods including chicken, pork and white sauce pastas. - Bob Bertheau, Winemaker
