- I used to buy a ton of the Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells back in the mid 2000s but have stopped buying due to the jammy nature of the wines. The 2018 is a solid for the price. $9.97 at Morelli’s and rebate offered on the wine.
Morelli’s does by far the best job at actually having the rebates for the wines and always have the lowest prices on more of the corporate wines which some can be very good.
- 2018 Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon Indian Wells – USA, Washington, Columbia Valley (11/23/2021)
Day 1: Very balanced wine overall. The last few wines I had from them were to Jammy but this features blueberries, earth, mild spices and floral notes. Short to medium finish but no hard edges. 88 points
Day 2: Holding true to day 1 form. Good value. 88 points
Recommendation: This is a very good value and glad to see this wine showing well again. (88 points)
