Dear %%NAME%%

After soooo many requests, we finally have the new Chateau Ste Michelle EROICA Riesling 2001 in stock! It always goes in a few weeks, so don't delay if this is your drink of choice! And we are still offering a 10% discount off the sale price on a full case when you use 3 day air to ship. And remember, Oregon has NO SALES TAX, so when you are comparing prices, remember to take that into account!

The first time I saw Eroica, a new Riesling made by Chateau Ste. Michelle, I thought the label read, "Erotica."
"I’ll take two of those," I said to the clerk, grinning from ear to ear, oblivious to my dyslexia.

Trying the 2002 vintage

Their finest Shea Vineyard offering to date. It displays a healthy saturated dark ruby color with purple nuances. Shea tends to be a seductive, open-knit effort, even in a more tannic year such as 2000. Copious sweet, creamy, black cherry and berry fruit intermixed with toasty wood emerge from the wine’s aromas. Medium to full-bodied and fleshy, with more structure than previous vintages, the 2000 offers the vineyard’s hallmark black fruit and a silky, lusty, hedonistic personality. It should drink well young , and evolve nicely for a decade. Vineyard Manager: Dick Shea.

Their first offering from Temperance Hill Vineyard, located in the Eola Hills of the Willamette Valley. This dynamic wine possesses a saturated dark ruby color and a sweet nose of cranberry, strawberry and black cherry fruit. An impressive attack is followed by moderate yet ripe tannin. The wine reveals seductive aromatics, fine density, medium to full body, and plenty of material, but it will require a year or two of cellaring in order to shed its tannin. At its best between 2004-2012. Vineyard Manager: Dai Crisp
