Chateau Ste. Michelle

Reserve Ethos Columbia Valley Chardonnay 2015

8.9

Light golden in color.

Strong nose of lemons, citrus, yellow apples, light oak, spices, black pepper and light vanilla.

Full bodied and buttery with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, red apples, melons, pears, herbs, vegetables, earth, wood, spices, vanilla and white pepper.

Nice finish with spices and almonds.

This is a very nice, slightly aged, Oaky Chardonnay from Washington State. Showing a nice mouthfeel with mild complexity. Rich, yet refreshing. Feels like a Napa Chardonnay.

Wine Enthusiasts 88 points. Wine Advocate 90 points.

This 5 year old is good by itself or with food, and better nicely chilled. Would be interesting to see how it evolves in the next 3 years.

I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in French oak barrels (34% new) for 10 months.

14.5 % alcohol by volume.

89 points.

One of my favorite reds to date. The taste is similar to slap boxing. A light touch but still enough force to give some feeling. Good cherry notes with a fine finish. — 21 days ago

Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Chris Monahan

9.1

This 100% Cabernet wine displays ample aromas and rich flavors of blackberry, blueberries, black cherry, and black plums along with hints of vanilla, black raspberry and white pepper. It shows a unique combination of richness, power, and balance in its soft, low-acid approach and its multi-layered and long finish. Paired with pork cutlet and cranberry jam sauce. — 7 days ago
