    This Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay has a rich, buttery, full texture. I tasted it blind and guessed it was almost double the price! It's very complex for [$] with aromas of pineapple and green apple. This is a luscious white to keep on hand for everyday.

    It was a nice change of taste, enjoyed.

    Worked well with seared salmon as well as beef hamburgers (surprised me). Nice layered first taste of pear and citrus, then light oak, then a buttery flavor.

        Comments about Chateau Ste. Michelle 2011 Chardonnay, Columbia Valley:

        This is one of only a handful of "go to" whites we serve all year long, but especially in the heat of the California summer. Well balanced; only slight nod to oak, great fruit, toasty oak and light caramel give way to green apple. Great value.
