Chateau Ste. Michelle Merlot Columbia Valley is a classic Washington State red wine crafted by one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated wineries. This approachable yet complex Merlot delivers aromas and flavors of black cherry, mocha, and spice with a long, smooth finish — an excellent example of why Washington Merlot has earned its place on wine lovers' lists worldwide.

The wine is a blend of 88% Merlot, 5% Syrah, 2% Mourvèdre, 2% Grenache, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Malbec. It is aged 22 months in a combination of neutral oak, new American oak, new French oak, and stainless steel, resulting in well-integrated tannins and a balanced structure.
