D* Chateau Ste Michelle Merlot Indian Wells

NOTE: Label is stained/damaged. Wine is fine.

The Indian Wells Merlot offers ripe berry fruit aromas and jammy flavors. This is a full-bodied style of warm climate Merlot with a round, supple finish. We added Wahluke Slope Syrah to enhance the mouthfeel and rich fruit character.

Blend: 83% Merlot, 15% Syrah, 2% Cabernet Franc

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Chateau Ste Michelle Indian Wells Merlot is alive, fresh, and crisp in the finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, minerality, chalkiness, and oak. Try it with Korean-style grilled ribs. (Tasted: April 2, 2023, San Francisco, CA)
