Restores my faith compared to the last bottle I opened. Spot on nose of crushed stone, honey, lanolin, sapid green and yellow fruits. On entry it seems dry but had a sneaky ripeness to it that could be a touch of residual sugar. Perfect foil to a homemade pate champagne. — 12 years ago
Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley. With deep soil, Miller Ranch is also in a climate sweet spot, cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon. Straw yellow with aromas of stone and tropical fruit with floral notes. On the palate crisp style with orange and grapefruit flavors, soft acidity with juicy sweetness, not overwhelming with a smooth ending. Good value. Tasting Sample. — 10 years ago
First timer with the yellow spot. I'm going to have to add it to the bar. — 10 years ago
A quick 30 minute decant will definitely enhance your experience. Enjoyed the 2014 on 2/28/16. Terrific minerality. Ian Cauble is spot on with pointing out the "yellow apple and unripe white peach". — 11 years ago
Green & golden apple, ripe pineapple, lemon/lime zest, bruised pear, honey, yellow florals, there's a thick/chewy taffy flavor on the roof of my mouth I remember from my youth (I want to say Now & Later but that's not quite right), creme soda, ginger ale, a slight nutty toffee quality, chalk is spot on as is the acidly and long finish. Round and balanced. Hard to find cultish Champagne. — 10 years ago

2015 vintage. Juicy yellow apple, white nectarine, pear, white rocks, honeysuckle, white tea, pineapple. Tasty with good concentration and zesty acidity. As always, Richter hits the spot, especially for a birthday wine after a long, hard week at work :) — 9 years ago
