About This Wine


Watchful Maker

Sauvignon Blanc

The Columbia Valley AVA in Washington State is an incredibly unique spot within the Pacific Northwest wine region. People often assume that because it is famously rainy and cold in Seattle it is also like that across the entire state, but it is the exact opposite actually! Columbia Valley is desert-like in many ways, with only 6-8 inches of rainfall in a season and a continental climate with diurnal temperature shifts of dry, hot days to cooler nights. Grapes that are properly irrigated and require little babysitting during the growing season adore environments of this sort. Sauvignon Blanc thrives in the area, and this wine is a stunning reflection of the quality coming out of the region. With tropical aromas, bright citrus flavors, and white floral notes, this wine is crisp and beautiful. High acidity makes your mouth water for another glass. Perfect for sipping solo after a hot summer day or paired with fresh vegetable dishes and summer salads.

Wine Region


Columbia Valley

Sheltered by the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley is home to the majority of Washington's vineyards. Cool nights keep zippy acidity in the grapes, while long daylight hours give the fruit plenty of chance to ripen. This results in full-bodied Merlot, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and deeply concentrated Syrah. White wines are just as tantalizing, with toasty oak-touched Chardonnay and ripe stone fruit-flavored Riesling taking the spotlight. Sub-AVAs to look out for are Yakima Valley and Walla Walla. The Columbia Valley is one of the only appellations in the United States to occupy vineyards in two states, as it crosses the Oregon border in the southern part of the valley.

Tropical aromas of pineapple and guava are complemented by bright citrus flavors of lemon-lime and grapefruit. A slight minerality with flavors of wet stone along with a subtle white floral aroma hit the back end of the palate. A crisp acidity shines with every sip.
