RED MOUNTAIN AVA
Washington’s crowned jewel Red Mountain AVA delivers flavors and a tannin profile that tantalize the palate. The structure and powerful flavors of these grapes are sought out by some of the most distinguished of wineries. This AVA is nestled in the eastern corner of the Yakima Valley AVA. The unique soil composition, aspect, elevation and growing degree days helped gain this beautiful area its AVA status. This region delivers super reds; Cabernet Sauvignon is king on the Mountain. We source our Palencia Cabernet from this region.

Beverly Vineyards
The Wahluke Slope is producing some of the most consistent and fruit forward wines in Washington. Considered the heartland for fleshy fruit reds and rich flavored full-bodied Merlot and Syrah. The long hot growing days deliver unrivaled ripeness and richness on the palate. This scenic and young AVA is lined with the Columbia River on its western & southern point. This unique regional trait allows for a breeze and slightly cooling effect to occur, allowing for the natural preservation of acidity in the grapes to hold on. We source our Monarcha Merlot, Sangiovese and Malbec from this region.
ANCIENT LAKES OF COLUMBIA VALLEY AVA
TWO GUN VINEYARDS | EVERGREEN VINEYARDS & SPANISH CASTLE VINEYARDS
This is Washington’s 13th AVA and its crisp, rich mineral profile has captured the attention of even the most discriminating of palates. The wines from this region carry acidity with a solid backbone of minerality. What exactly does this taste like? Minerality takes any flavor of a given variety and puts an almost 2nd dimension into it by giving a metallic zing or even a refreshing thirst-quenching profile. The rich caliche soils are the trademark for this region and the cooler crisp nights help maintain the solid acidity delivering crisp aromatic wines. Our Albariño and Pinot Noir Rosé is sourced from this region.
Frenchman Hills Vineyard - Royal Slope AVA
The Royal slope AVA was officially established as an AVA in 2020. Composed of predominantly wind blown Loess this region also benefits from high elevation up to 1700 ft. The region is nestle in North Central Washingtons hot arid dry climate making it a perfect place to grow and produce complex full body red wines. We source Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet and Sangiovese from this region.
