Chateau Ste. Michelle

The expression of the vineyard site is so pure – powdery Horse Heaven Hills tannins, enveloped by varietal Cab flavors of dark cherries and fresh cooking herbs and then intensified by the richness and density of grapes grown in a vineyard that was planted more than 20 years ago in 1991.

Our 40-year-old Cold Creek Vineyard contributes to the blend which provides the wine’s power and structure. This is the most complex of our Cabernets and offers layers of ripe blueberry fruit with silky tannins.

Classic Horse Heaven Hills fruit flavors of cherries are expressed as ripe/dark cherries. Canoe Ridge’s elegant tannins are still fine and powdery, but with an added level of extract and density. A beautiful expression of Canoe Cabernet in a wonderfully warm and balanced vintage.

With this warmer vintage, we selected a few cooler sites to add balance, richness and layers − the ultimate goal for the Artist Series blend. Crafted from four varieties in a beautiful, plush vintage, the blend exudes perfect Washington state structure with desired elegance.

The Ethos Merlot offers blueberry fruit with wonderful complexity and rich layers. Our Merlots in Washington are so big and concentrated, we actually add a touch of Cabernet to soften the tannins!

The Ethos Syrah represents the ultimate combination of power and softness. The wine offers rich dark blackberry fruit among layers of complexity and a sweet finish. The fruit came predominately from our Cold Creek Vineyard as well as vineyards in the Wahluke Slope.

Cabernet from this iconic 45-year-old vineyard consistently delivers power, structure and rich concentrated black fruit. The wine offers black cherry flavors and chocolate notes with typical Cold Creek density and user-friendly power. 2012 was a return to the “classic” Washington vintage for this Cabernet.
