Merlot from Red Mountain is special; here it's a powerful yet elegant grape, capable of producing wines of profound depth and density of character. A gentle oak regimen that employs primarily 2nd-fill barrels ensures abundant fruit and geographical specificity are preserved in the finished wine.

THE PEOPLE & THE PLACE

Kiona Vineyards

Our family pioneered Red Mountain when we planted 10 acres of wine grapes in the middle of nowhere. Four decades and three generations later we farm over 270 estate-grown acres in the world-famous AVA. Our grapes are used in our own 20,000-case estate winery and by more the 60 other top winemakers.

Red Mountain

Washington's premier wine growing region with limited production and high-quality focus. Sedimentary soils, Southwest slopes and prevailing winds, low precipitation and temperature swings create intense, concentrated wines with remarkable balance of fruit, acidity, and tannin.
