Chateau Ste. Michelle Artist Series 2015 Case of 3
75cl / 14.5%
“Powerful Cold Creek Vineyard fruit is the core of this intense and very structured blend.
The aromas are squarely in the ripe red and dark-berry zone. There’s a sappy side to the nose, too.
The palate has a very assertive, mouthwatering quality that has ample length and depth. Drink or hold.”
~ James Suckling

Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Artist Series is a Bordeaux-style red blend that celebrates the inspired collaboration between artisan winemaking and fine art. The Artist Series is the first wine that blends each vintage from Ste Michelle’s best vineyards in the Columbia Valley, striving for elegance, complexity with underlying power.
The very warm 2015 vintage produced incredible ripe,rich concentrated red wines. This 2015 bottling shows the bestof both worlds – the wonderful, ripe vintage, contrasted withsophisticated layers and complexity.
The 2015 vintage labels showcase artist Sheri Bakes, a Canadian painter whose paintings deal with light and atmospheric motion in nature. The featured paintings explore the delicate movement of light and shadows cast along a vulnerable field of luminous poppies and wildflowers.

History of Chateau Ste. Michelle
Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest, and one of the most prestigious, wineries in Washington. The company produces a wide range of wines from grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay, but it is best known for its high-quality wines made from Riesling.
It was founded as the American Wine Growers in 1954 by the merger of two companies that were set up following the repeal of Prohibition in the 1930s: the National Wine Company and the Pomerelle Wine Company. Before the merger, the National Wine Company had planted Vitis vinifera grapes in the Columbia Valley. However it was legendary winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff, as a consultant, who introduced higher quality vinifera wines in 1967. These were produced under the name Ste. Michelle Vintners and the first wines released were Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Semillon and Grenache.
In 1976, the name was changed to Chateau Ste. Michelle. The winery has since achieved international acclaim. Chateau Ste. Michelle has three estate vineyards all in the Columbia Valley AVA – Cold Creek, Horse Heaven and Canoe Ridge. In 1995, the company formed a partnership with Antinori to make luxury Cabernet Sauvignon under the label Col Solare. Most recently, in 2016 the company purchased Sonoma-based Pinot Noir and Chardonnay house Patz & Hall.
