Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Ethos Reserve Syrah Columbia Valley

89 points  Wine Enthusiast - April 1, 2013

Made from Cold Creek and Wahluke Slope fruit, this pure Syrah is compact and dense, and it reveals blueberry and boysenberry flavors that are set in a frame of coffee-flavored tannins…

Dark and dense, this is smoky and peppery around a plush core of plum, currant and grilled bacon, finishing with strong savory notes.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Ethos Reserve Syrah Columbia Valley

91 points  Wine Review Online - February 19, 2013

With Ethos, their Reserve bottling, Chateau Ste. Michelle brings together a fine amalgam of meaty and fruity flavors, both sides of what Syrah can offer. They should be congratulated because it’s clearly difficult to achieve this kind of balance. Bright acidity makes this a wine for food, not a stand alone aperitif. Suave tannins supporting the robust flavors mean it’s perfect for this winter’s hearty fare. Despite its stated 15.5% alcohol, there’s not a touch of heat in the long and impressive finish, just going to show that some varietals handle alcohol better than others.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Ethos Reserve Syrah Columbia Valley

  Wine Peeps - December 5, 2012

Dark, dense purple in color. Nice nose with black fruit, eucalyptus, black pepper, and spice aromas. Espresso, cocoa, black fruit, and a touch of game come through on the palate. Full-bodied and lively with high tannins. Well-balanced with good complexity and a long, lingering finish.
