The wine region of Horse Heaven Hills

Major Washington AVA (south Columbia Valley) facing the river: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king red — concentrated, opulent with blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, cedar, chocolate and an herbal touch, firm tannins and a long finish (cult wines rated 100/100). Merlot, fleshy Syrah and Malbec as backup. Chardonnay and Riesling in racy whites. AVA (2005), south-facing slopes, draining sandy-gravelly soils, dry, windy continental climate.

The wine region of Washington

2nd US producer by volume, on the arid, sunny Columbia Valley. 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.
