One of the advantages of having made wine in the Columbia Valley since the mid-1980s is the opportunity it’s given me to work with some of the most dedicated growers in the industry. The Columbia Valley wines are made from a short list of vineyards that are considered to be among the best in the state. The diversity of these vineyards-representing many of the most mature, carefully managed sites in Washington-provides for a full range of fruit expression that allows the winery to craft complex, multi-layered wines true to Columbia Valley terroir as well as the varietal character of the grapes.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 94

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Tightly wound, its blueberry, plum and crème brûlée flavors riding aristocratically over a layer of refined tannins. The finish persists and expands as it hints at mineral and wet earth. Best from 2013 through 2018.
