Chateau Ste. Michelle

A visionary wine showcasing three varieties that are stellar in our growing region, but not traditionally blended together. This unique combination provides a beautiful marriage of structure, fruit and complexity that represents the pinnacle of Washington state grape growing and winemaking.

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.

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.

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.

The wine offers black cherry flavors and chocolate notes with typical Cold Creek density and user friendly power. This is 100% Cabernet because Cold Creek Cab shines on its own.

The Canoe Ridge Estate Merlot is an elegant expression of Washington Merlot. It offers dark cherry fruit character and dusty tannins. This is a perfect match with Italian food.

Our Ethos Chardonnay combines depth and richness with Old World style elegance. The fermentations were 90% natural to coax complexities from the oak barrels. I love to watch how this wine evolves in the glass. Try this wine with Alaskan Weathervane Scallops... a natural Northwest match!

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!

Powdery tannins, enveloped by varietal Cab flavors of dark cherries and fresh cooking herbs. The 2015 vintage was the warmest and earliest to date, however our cool harvest evenings kept the natural acidity intact, so all of the lush, ripe fruit has a tight framework of acidity to best showcase it.

Our Indian Wells Chardonnay delivers an appealing tropical fruit character typical of warm sites like the Wahluke Slope. I like this Chardonnay’s ripe pineapple and butterscotch flavors and rich, creamy texture. Try it with scallops, scampi or pasta with rich sauce.

Eroica Riesling offers sweet lime and mandarin orange aromas with subtle mineral notes. The mouth-watering acidity is beautifully balanced by flavorful Washington Riesling fruit. To achieve our Eroica style we strive for bright fruit with crisp acidity and enhanced mineralilty.
