Solid surprise. Washington constance of a standby vineyard, Horse Heaven. Established in 2005
Naturally bounded on the north by the Yakima Valley AVA and on the south by the Columbia River.
Approximately 66% red to 34% white
Main grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Riesling
Located in Southeast Washington - total area is 576,603 acres of which about 16,197 acres are planted to grapes, representing 25% of Washington's total grape production.
Primary grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Syrah with 37 total varieties planted.
Proximity to the Columbia River creates 30% more wind while moderating temperature extremes, providing steep south-facing slopes for optimum vineyard locations and providing well-drained, sandy-loam soils.
Elevations range from 1,800 feet at the area's northern boundary to 300 feet at its southern.
