2011 Chateau Ste. Michelle Horse Heaven Hills Sauvignon Blanc

2011 Chateau Ste. Michelle Horse Heaven Hills Sauvignon Blanc

stemichelle1199229303A Costco staple, the Horse Heaven Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc from Chateau Ste. Michelle is always a solid white for under $15, and the 2011 is another good offering especially considering its $11.99 price tag.

The nose has light floral scents, a little earth and a hint of its citrus flavor.  On the palatte, the grapefruit, pear and apple flavors come together nicely; medium in body, a little dry on the finish, but the acidity helps stick it out.  This would be a great summer bottle so I might buy a few more to save for when I want a crisp, clean white for sunny days.

I reviewed the 2008 vintage of this wine, and gave it 89 Points, which is perhaps a little on the high side for the 2011, which I’ll bring in just a point below that at 88.  Recommended.
