Tasting Notes

Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Artist Series Red Wine celebrates the inspired collaboration between artisan winemaking and fine art. The 2015 vintage labels showcase artist Sheri Bakes, a Canadian painter whose paintings deal with light and atmospheric motion in nature. The featured paintings explore the delicate movement of light and shadows cast along a vulnerable field of luminous poppies and wildflowers. The very warm 2015 vintage produced incredible ripe, rich concentrated red wines. This 2015 bottling shows the best of both worlds – the wonderful, ripe vintage, contrasted with sophisticated layers and complexity.
