CHATEAU ST MICHELLE MERLOT CANOE RIDGE STATE HORSE HEAVEN HILLS 2021

This stunning vineyard sits on a south-facing wind-swept slope high above the Columbia River. Heat throughout the growing season is moderated by the strong wine patterns while cool nights provide optimum conditions for flavor development. Complex and elegant wine with focused flavors and silky elegant tannins.

Aromas of toast, carob and black raspberry lead to plump fruit and barrel flavors. The bright acid and firm tannins of the vintage provide the frame.

Wine Spectator- Broad and spicy, with pepper and clove overtones to the rich blueberry and currant fruit, coming together harmoniously against softly nubby tannins on the expressive finish.

Wine Enthusiast- Aromas of toast, carob and black raspberry lead to plump fruit and barrel flavors. The bright acid and firm tannins of the vintage provide the frame.
