The wine region of Yakima Valley
Washington's oldest AVA (1983): signature Chardonnay and Riesling as white kings (lively and taut, citrus, apple, white peach and a mineral touch, acidity preserved by cold nights). Supple Merlot (plum, blackberry), structured Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar) and fleshy Syrah (blackberry, pepper, smoked meat) in concentrated reds. Southern Columbia Valley, basalt under loess, day-night contrast (80/50°F) — about 1/3 of the state's plantings.

Star Cabernet Sauvignon (~60% of reds): powerful and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, dry herbs and graphite, firm tannins. Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.
The word of the wine: Destemming
Action consisting in separating the grapes from the stalk before vinification. The stalk, the woody part of the bunch, may give the wine an unpleasant vegetal character.
