Made in limited production, the 2017 Ethos Reserve Late Harvest Riesling has a gold color at the core with a sticky rim and shows a soft honeyed essence on the nose along with peach preserves, dried apricots, baked apples, quince paste, candied lime and rosewater. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is unctuous in the mouth, with beautifully balanced residual sugar and energetic acidity that dances across the palate, offering flavors of golden raisins, apricot marmalade and apple peach compote. It displays a balanced structure that makes me hungry for high-quality blue cheese. The wine lingers on the palate with an elongated finish, somersaulting with enjoyment, offering pleasure at every turn. This is a beautiful late-harvest Riesling. Bravo!

The 2008 Ethos Late Harvest White Riesling finished at 8.0% alcohol and 22.8% residual sugar made from 50% botrytis-infected fruit. Tropical fruits, candied peaches and apricots, and ginger lead to a sweet, viscous elixir with impeccable balance and exceptional length. It will drink well for at least 8-10 years. Chateau Ste.

The 2007 Ethos Late Harvest Riesling was sourced from Horse Heaven Hills. Falling somewhere between an Auslese and a Beerenauslese, it has 40-50% botrytised fruit which can be experienced in its bouquet along with fragrant peach and apricot notes. With excellent acidity, solid balance, a viscous texture, and exceptional length, it is ideal for pairing with sweet desserts.Chateau Ste.
