The 2014 Chateau Ste. Michelle 'Cold Creek Vineyard' Chardonnay is an awesome release from this estate. Possessing a rich and golden hue, the wine begins with aromatics of hazelnuts, pineapple, vanilla cream and brioche. The palate yields dense flavors of creme brulee, allspice, Meyer lemon zest and New York apple. This balanced and mineral driven wine has a lovely weigtht on the mid-palate, which leads to a long, vanilla-cream laced finish. This is another highly impressive bottling from Chateau Ste. Michelle and their winemaking team lead by Bob Bertheau. (Best 2016-2023) - November, 2016 (OB)
