Domaine Ste. MichelleDomaine Ste. Michelle is known for its contemporary, stylish sparkling wines. Crafted from premium European grape varieties grown in Washington State's Columbia Valley, Domaine Ste. Michelle winemaker Rick Casquiero follows the tradition of French winemakers before him using the classic méthode champenoise. Domaine Ste. Michelle's Cuvee Brut is delicate and balanced with clean, crisp méthode champenoise character. The Extra Dry is similar in style, with a touch more sweetness on the finish. Domaine Ste. Michelle's Blanc de Blanc is notable for its steely character, enhanced by an appealing toastiness. The Blanc de Noir is characterized by an attractive berry hue. It exhibits delightful spicy characteristics of ripe raspberry and strawberry aromas and flavors. Long summer days and cool nights in the Columbia Valley allow grapes to ripen fully while retaining naturally high acidity giving the wines their balance, perhaps one reason why Domaine Ste. Michelle has won consistent praise for its quality in addition to its affordability. |
