The Columbia Gorge AVA
We contract with multiple vineyards on and near Underwood Mt., which is an ancient volcano! The are is rich in volcanic soil on top of layers of basalt. Once the vines are established they are dry farmed which is very rare in Washington. This forces the roots to dive deep for moisture and they produce bright, mineral driven grapes that make delicious structured wine! Side note- we farmed a vineyard in White Salmon when we were getting our start in the wine industry and fell hard for this area. If you haven’t been we suggest you make a weekend trip soon!
Walla Walla AVA




Horse Heaven Hills
South Facing slopes along the Columbia River make this one of the most arid growing regions in Washington. The wind rips through this area which encourages the vine to toughen up the skins giving the grapes more tannin and backbone. We use 3 different vineyards in this AVA.
Rattlesnake Hills AVA
What really sets this AVA apart from much of Eastern Washington is the elevation. Some of the highest elevation vineyards in Washington are in this area. This creates more temperature range during the months close to harvest which helps the grapes to retain acid. This is where we source many of our Rhone varietals.




Yakima Valley AVA
We source our Malbec here. The vines struggle like nowhere else we have seen. They grow in incredibly shallow Loess soil over big outcroppings of basalt over the Yakima River. This struggle along with the heat and the temperature fluctuation from the river makes for vineyards that have low yield but very condensed fruit that makes for big and bold yet very balanced wines. We now contract from 2 small vineyards here and feel very lucky to have found what we think is the best spot for Malbec which is our most popular wine.
Candy Mountain AVA – One of Washington’s newest AVAs
This new AVA is at the base of Red Mt, which is known for growing big bold Reds. Being a bit lower on the mountain and closer to the river we are excited to see how this vineyard can hold some acidity while fully ripening Mourvèdre. Very excited to work with Candy Mountain Vineyard for the first time.




Columbia Valley AVA
One of our very favorite vineyards to work with sits by its lonesome Northwest of Walla Walla and is in the broader Columbia Valley AVA. These vines were planted in the 90’s and grown in basalt outcroppings high above the snake river. The views here are amazing, and so are the Bordeaux varietals we source here. There are many different elevations and soil profiles within one vineyard making it a very unique site.
