Silent Lot #124 – Ste. Michelle Wine Estates
Works of Art

We all know that Chateau Ste. Michelle is a bastion of Washington winemaking. And tonight, they offer up some of their most inspired creations—three Magnums of their 2010 Artist Series blend. Winemakers and artists have drawn inspiration from one another for centuries. For the Artist Series Meritage wines, head winemaker Bob Bertheau crafts exceptional Bordeaux-style blends of unique power and character that honor world-class artisans such as Dale Chihuly, Alden Mason, and Andre Petterson. The 2010 vintage delivers black cherry aromas and spice notes with velvety tannins. Most of the blend was sourced from the Cold Creek Vineyard, providing power and elegance. Fruit from the Canoe Ridge Estate vineyard rounds out the wine for a layered, complex and harmonious result and a smooth finish. This wine was given 92 points by The Wine Advocate, and the review highlights its “…superb concentration and mid-palate density,” calling it a “medium to full-bodied, classy wine.”
