McKinley Springs Vineyards are the original players in the now fabeled Horse Heaven Hills AVA.  Bright, bold and full-bodied; deep and dark in color. Rich aromas of earth and lush blackberry lead to a savory palate of Italian red plum, cedar, and a touch of pepper.

Malbec Reserve Red Wines is a Tasting Room favorite!  Delightfully juicy, this Malbec will pair perfectly with a rib-eye steak smothered in peppercorn cream sauce.

Rusty Red is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon blend with a bit of Barbera and Syrah. Truly luscious and big, loaded with acidity and supple tannins to stand up to whatever it's paired with.

An aroma of ripe dark cherry, caramel, pepper and a palate filled with bright acidity and a hint of vanilla to finish.To have known Rusty is to understand why dogs are (hu)man's best friend. A joy at home or afield, he was one of the best bird pointing Labradors in the country.

A toast to Rusty: He was protective, yet playful; assertive,but not over-bearing; bold yet sweet. Like this wine, he was one of the best.

Cheers!

Our 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a true reflection of the talent of our local growers. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty seared meats, roasted vegetables and mushrooms - especially Pacific Northwest Morels and Chanterelles.

Approachable yet bold, complex with plenty of grip; hints of red berries, earth, oak, and tannins with a smooth & memorable finish.

Located on the north side of the Columbia River the Dampier Vineyard is in Underwood Mountain, WA. At approximately 1,100 feet, this vineyard benefits from southern facing slopes with great exposure to the sun and cool Gorge winds throughout the growing season. We take the whole vineyard.  It delivers a very fresh and vibrantly fruited style with a crunchy, red fruit core and terrific, lithe, juicy fruit that really pops. Succulent and appealing strong cherry nose.

Bright and boisterous, this second vintage of our Rhett’s Red Wines blend showcases delicious fresh orchard and berry aromas. An exuberant and bold blend in honor of Rhett, our winery dog.

A sassy Rhone inspired blend named for the winery owner’s daughter and fitting to her personality!

It’s a fantastic wine for great times and great company. This second release vintage of The Daughters’ is a blend we’ve looked forward to making and sharing. Pair with smoky BBQ or hearty meats.

A smooth and perfectly balanced blend of Elephant Mountain, Moody, and Mckinley Springs vineyards.  Aged in barrel for 22 months, our Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our boldest and most distinctive red wines and a quintessential representation of the Pacific Northwest. We harvest the grapes when they have developed a ripe earthiness with rich, black cherry flavors and deep tannins in the skin; while maintaining acidity. Our Cabernet is smooth and complex with bold luscious notes of black cherries with an undertone of rosemary and eucalyptus. Ripe blueberries round out the finish.
