wishes to explore the potential of the Columbia Gorge AVA as an interesting, unique place to grow wine grapes • with a narrower focus on the higher elevation, cooler vineyards • to make wines with lower alcohols, brighter acidity, and gentle phenolics • with transparency in winemaking • letting the grapes express themselves • representing the place we live, love and make wine.
is a rocky ridgetop on the east side of Mount Adams • a trailless section of the mountain near the Mazama and Klickitat glaciers. Mount Adams • our inspiration • considered a potentially active stratovolcano • influences our landscapes, soils, water, and weather • source of mystery, power and intrigue.
