Chateau Ste. Michelle Intros 2 New Wines

Chateau Ste. Michelle is introducing two new wines that showcase the quality and diversity of Washington wine: Chateau Ste. Michelle 2024 Evergreen Vineyard Riesling and Chateau Ste. Michelle 2024 Columbia Valley Red Blend.

The new wines are part of Chateau Ste. Michelle's continued evolution in 2026, marked by refreshed packaging, ongoing investment in wine quality, and enhanced guest experiences at the winery's historic Woodinville estate.

Evergreen Vineyard Riesling: Sourced from one of Washington’s most esteemed Riesling sites, Evergreen Vineyard Riesling is a crisp, dry expression that captures the purity and precision of the Ancient Lakes AVA. The wine showcases vibrant notes of lime and blood orange, delicate floral aromas, and a pronounced mineral edge. It will be available at select fine wine retailers with a suggested retail price of $29.

Evergreen Vineyard was established more than a decade before the Ancient Lakes AVA earned official recognition in 2012. Its proximity to the Columbia River moderates temperatures and allows for extended hang time, resulting in naturally high acidity and exceptional balance. Missoula Flood–carved soils of Quincy loam over caliche further contribute to the wine’s freshness, structure, and distinctive minerality.

Columbia Valley Red Blend: While the region is celebrated for its acclaimed aromatic white wines, Washington State’s Columbia Valley is equally renowned for bold, balanced, and expressive red wines. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Red Blend celebrates the depth and diversity of the region through a thoughtfully composed blend of its leading red varieties.

Full-bodied and richly layered, the wine offers notes of raspberry and cherry, supported by velvety tannins and a long, polished finish. The blend features 51% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Grenache, 7% Malbec, 6% Mourvèdre, and 5% Cinsault, sourced from vineyards across the Columbia Valley, including the Wahluke Slope, Horse Heaven Hills, and Yakima Valley AVAs. The wine is available nationally with a suggested retail price of $17.
