The 2010 Chardonnay Sanct-Valentin comes across as heavy and ponderous, with little of the refinement of the house’s best wines. This is not a style St. Michael does particularly well. I am not sure what the rationale is for making a wine like this given all of the strengths St. Michael has elsewhere. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014. I found many delicious wines in this lineup from St. Michael Eppan. The house is best known for their top of the line Sanct-Valentin wines that emphasize textural softness. As good as those wines can be, the sweet spot at St. Michael lies just below, in the vineyard-designated range. Importers: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel.
