Wahluke Slope

The Wahluke Slope is a pinprick within the larger Columbia Valley, measuring just 15 miles wide. The appellation is situated on south-facing sloped highland on a bend of the Columbia River. Merlot dominates the planted vineyards here, with Cabernet Sauvignon close behind. Vines in the area experience high levels of stress during the growing season because of the dry soils, which result in small concentrated fruit with bountiful flavors.
