A lithe expressive wine that struts it's pedigree when given plenty of air. While on the lighter side, it's depth and complexity leave little doubt of it's original market intention . An elegant wine. Outstanding QPR and a nice change of pace.

I think this has good potential. For my palette, at this point in time, the wood was too dominant. Everything else is there as expected. Good power for a merlot. For me, this just needs time.

2012 Chateau Ste. Michelle Merlot Canoe Ridge Estate Vineyard

Big departure from previous vintages. Really soft and easy. Lacks the cut and class for Canoe Ridge Estates and the hyped 2012 vintage.
