Blended from bold fruit with European-style complexity and structure, these limited production wines are our winemakers’ best-of-vintage masterpieces. Available online only, this Ethos Reserve Columbia Valley set includes one each of the following:
2019 Ethos Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Old vine concentration, high winds, sandy soils, and intense heat are the source of this Cabernet Sauvignon’s greatness. Combine that with hand crafted artistry and extreme attention to detail, and you have the perfect example of what makes Washington State and Chateau Ste. Michelle truly special.
2023 Ethos Reserve Chardonnay
This wine is a labor of love that requires months of tasting hundreds of individual barrels of Chardonnay to find the perfect balance of concentration and complexity. Ethos is crafted in an elegant style designed to entice your senses and captivate your spirit.
2018 Ethos Reserve Merlot
The 2018 vintage provided magical conditions to create a complex Merlot. Dineen Vineyard makes up 55% of this wine, and I added depth and texture with 45% old vine Cold Creek Vineyard Merlot. This Merlot encapsulates everything that is remarkable about Washington State Merlot made by Chateau Ste. Michelle.
2018 Ethos Reserve Syrah
Unique Syrah's from across the state provide decadence and richness, concentration and depth, intensity and focus, and delicate complexity to unify into a masterpiece Syrah that only Washington state can create.
