The history of the oldest winery in the state of Washington dates back to 1912, when Seattle businessman Frederic Stimson bought 34ha of land in Woodinville, where he built a farm with a vineyard and hunting grounds. Stimson named his estate Hollywood Farm, later Stimson Lane Vineyards & Estate. In 1951, the first "Vitis Vinifera" berries were planted In 1976, a French-style wine estate was built and the winery was named Château Ste. Michelle, which in 2004 and 2005 was awarded the title of "Winery of the Year" in the United States. The color is more intense than average, ruby red with a violet tone. The aroma is of medium intensity and berry dense. Feel ripe black forest berries, overripe black currants, wild berries, ripe dark stone fruits with black pepper, cocoa, dried bay leaf and rosemary. The taste is medium-bodied, dry and lively with berries. Feel coupes of blackcurrants, blue plums and cranberries, some mint with pastry spices, cloves and dark chocolate. Aftertaste of spiciness with overripe field berries, the finish is long and lively with blackcurrants. Grapes are mainly harvested from various growing areas in the Columbia Valley. The wine is fermented in recirculated stainless steel barrels and matures for 12 months in French oak and American white oak barrels, one third of the barrels are new.
