Since 1967, the dedicated winemakers at Chateau Ste. Michelle have crafted some of the most spectacular wines in the world—notably through the meticulous approach to Indian Wells. Specially selected and carefully aged, this premier Merlot captures the intense energy of arid vineyards resulting in velvety blackberry and vanilla flavors. The full bodied, rich mouthfeel is balanced by a firm structure and noticeable yet refined oak tannins, lead into a lush, savory, and satin-like finish. A polished wine crafted in an approachable style makes this wine an ideal pairing for a variety of appetizers and entrees. Impress your guests and try pairing with grilled tri-tip, backyard BBQ ribs and burgers, or charcuterie and gourmet cheeses.
