Washington Wines & Spirits
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Washington state produces red and white wines from Columbia Valley sub-appellations alongside craft-distilled bourbon whiskey. East of the Cascades, a high-desert climate with dramatic diurnal temperature swings preserves natural acidity in grapes while enabling full phenolic ripeness. Walla Walla Valley, one of the state's most celebrated sub-appellations, yields structured reds including Cabernet Franc from Spring Valley Vineyard and Syrah from Reynvaan. The Wahluke Slope, one of the warmest growing areas in Columbia Valley, produces concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon, represented here by Luke. DeLille Cellars works with white Bordeaux varieties in its Chaleur Blanc, demonstrating the state's range beyond red wines. Woodinville Whiskey Co. extends Washington's craft beverage identity with an eight-year straight bourbon. Amavi and Fausse Piste round out a range spanning rosé-weight expressions to cellar-worthy reds.
