⁠“Harvest demands months of preparation, and flawless ex*****on. Our cellar team works seamlessly together with our vineyard managers to know what’s happening in the vineyards, to time every pick, press and punch down with precision. Making great w**e starts in the earth and on the vine, and it’s our job in the cellar to know when to step back. To only intervene when needed and let the w**es express the character of the vineyards from which they come.”

The Red Mountain AVA was formed by the repeated ice-age flooding of Glacial Lake Missoula between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago. The flood waters covered huge swaths of land in Washington and Oregon, and redesigned the landscape, leaving soft mountain slopes and depositing nutrient rich top soils over sand, silt and gravel.⁠
⁠
How did this help us become a world-famous w**e region? The high alkalinity and calcium carbonate content of the soil, along with its granular consistency, allows for vines to form a well established root system, reaching deep to obtain the necessary nutrients and moisture. ⁠
⁠
The dry desert landscape may not look like arable land, but this dirt was made for our vines.

It's an honor to be included in the Owen Bargreen top 100 w**es of 2025 with our 2021 Estate Malbec! One of the hardest working and knowledgeable w**e writers in the business. So many great w**es on this list and happy to be named as one of the best w**es on the West Coast.

Make sure to check out the Top 100 list and show Owen your support.

#62 - The 2021 Estate Malbec was stored in 25% new American oak barrels for 18 months prior to bottling. Brooding in the glass, this delivers plenty of rich dark fruits on the palate, alongside huckleberry compote, dark chocolate shavings and a graphite edge. Every bit outstanding, enjoy now and over the next fifteen plus years. Drink 2025-2042 - 95

Sharing a bottle with loved ones is what the holiday season is all about. ⁠
⁠
The Upchurch Vineyard Counterpart is 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. With black raspberries, blueberry and coriander on the nose, the balanced and structured w**e is perfect for holiday meals, and everyone at the table will love your pick!

Sunrise over Red Mountain 🌞⁠
⁠
Our higher latitude means we have more daily hours of sunlight than most w**egrowing regions—up to 17 hours during the growing season. Bordeaux receives about 9 hours a day, Napa Valley about 15 (two other regions famous for Cabernet Sauvignon). ⁠
⁠
The orientation of Red Mountain gives us this extreme sun exposure, lending heat and ripeness to the grapes on the vine, while strong winds help regulate the temperature and create firm skins, helping to add complexity to the fruit. We know it can get hot here in the summer, but it’s also what makes our w**e divine.
