Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Merlot

Color: shiny ruby to garnet red

Nose: refined bouquet with clear cherry fruit and fragrant aromas of plums and berries, underscored with fine spice notes (cloves)

Taste: silky, round, and full-bodied on the palate, with medium body, gentle tannin, and the juicy, spicy fruit of the bouquet; aromatic, very elegant, and long-lasting in the finish, a highly delicate Merlot and an extremely versatile food companion!

To fully express the characteristic soft fullness and elegance of the Canoe Ridge Estate Merlot grapes in the wine, Chateau Ste. Michelle winemaker Bob Bertheau lets the fully ripe, destemmed grapes ferment only gently crushed, with the addition of selected yeasts. During this process, the pomace cap is flooded with the wine daily to extract a maximum of color pigments, aromas, and gentle tannin from the grape skins. The Canoe Ridge Merlot is tasted regularly during this time to observe the aroma and tannin development and to draw the wine off the lees at exactly the right time and place it in French and American oak barrels for its approximately 18-month maturation. Regular racking aerates the wine during barrel aging and gives it even softer tannins and an aromatic, soft fullness on the palate.
