CHATEAU STE MICHELLE INDIAN WELLS MERLOT - The Wahluke Slope appellation is often considered the top winemaking region of Washington state. It is a 13 mile wide gravel bar created by the ice age floods that ravaged Eastern Washington some 15,000 years ago. It is one of the warmest grape growing regions in the state resulting in early harvest. The grapes bear big flavors and structure for their wines. This is the ideal “pasta wine”.
