The '04 and '05 vintages of the Chateau St. Michelle, Indian Wells, Chardonnay received 90 points from Wine Spectator, and the 2006 does not disappoint. It is an excellent Chardonnay which I immensely enjoyed at the wedding paired with fresh shrimp. The winemaker described it so perfectly, I feel compelled to quote him:
“The warmth of the Wahluke Slope consistently produces Chardonnays with an appealing tropical fruit character. The 2006 bottling delivers pineapple, butterscotch, and vanilla aromas with notes of brown sugar and spice. The Indian Wells Chardonnay is soft and rich yet maintains a beautiful elegance. I like this wine with scallops, scampi or pasta with slightly richer sauces.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker
