“Deep, dark and a little ponderous, I want this wine to have rich, concentrated fruit. As the pinnacle tier for Chateau Ste. Michelle, all Ethos wines offer layers of complexity and the Syrah is no exception. We use six different Syrah vineyards to achieve this beguiling combination of concentration, fruit and complexity.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

• Six Syrah vineyards throughout Eastern Washington provided fruit for this wine: Williams on Red Mountain, our own Canoe Ridge Estate in the Horse Heaven Hills appellation, High River in the Columbia Basin, Washington Fruit on the Wahluke Slope and Venessa Vineyard in Walla Walla.
• Syrah is well suited to Eastern Washington's long, warm and dry growing season, resulting in ideal ripeness and complexity.
