Winemaker Notes

The Ethos Reserve Cabernet is crafted to showcase the power and richness of Washington fruit combined with Old World elegance. The 40-year-old Cold Creek Vineyard contributes to the blend which provides the wine's power and structure. This is the most complex of the Chateau’s Cabernets and offers layers of ripe blueberry fruit with silky tannins.

Pairs well with prime rib, bleu cheese, and chocolate desserts.

Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    One of the standouts in the lineup is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Ethos Reserve, which comes from a number of sites in the Columbia valley and incorporates 10% Merlot. Aged in 53% new French and American oak, this full-bodied, rich, unctuously textured and concentrated Cabernet is loaded with notions of currants, blueberries, smoked herbs, and licorice. Possessing low acidity, a plump, sexy profile and no hard edges, it can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade.

    This has boldly expressed ripe dark berries and some autumnal leafy notes. Follows through to a palate that has assertive tannin in a punchy style. Dark fruits. Fine but sturdy tannins close it out.
  • 91
    Firm in texture, with a blanket of superfine tannins surrounding a pulsing core of blackberry, currant, dark plum and violet flavors that keep coursing through the long finish. Best from 2018 through 2023.

Image for Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon content section

Washington produces so many exciting wines, and that definitely includes Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. With over 10,000 acres under vine, Cabernet Sauvignon is now the most widely-grown varietal in the state. Terrific examples hail from sub-appellations like Red Mountain, Wahluke Slope, Horse Heaven Hills and Walla Walla Valley. One of the fascinations of these Columbia Valley Cabs is that they so often seem to have one foot in the New World and one in the Old. Representing the former are characteristics like the ripe, forward fruit that results from long sunny days during the growing season (up to two hours longer than in much of California). Old World similarities include an undeniable brightness from acidity, as well as notes of herbs, graphite and a dusty, sometimes gravelly minerality.

Whether you’re looking for a budget bottle for everyday enjoyment, or a stellar, world-class wine with tremendous aging potential, Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wines can deliver the goods! Among the many fine options are bottles from Columbia Crest, Chateau Ste. Michelle, L’ecole #41, Quilceda Creek and Leonetti.
