Chateau Ste. Michelle 2010 Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay, Horse Heaven Hills, $22
Coming from a cool vintage, this Chardonnay is from one of the few estate vineyards for Chateau Ste. Michelle. It opens with aromas of baked apple, poached pear, butter and apricot, followed by flavors of butter, pineapple and butterscotch. It’s a rich wine on the palate with nice length.

I like the label on the Mercer Chard a lot!
