Les Collines -- Located in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, owner Shane McGibbon does an outstanding job of working with winemakers to ensure the highest quality of fruit is ready to make the very best wines. We feature Les Collines Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon, and Syrah in our wines. Spofford Station -- Just across the state line in Milton Freewater, this vineyard has the perfect combination of altitude, soils, and a great lady in charge. Lynne Chamberlain’s Spofford Station Vineyard grows some of the best Syrah in the valley as well as great Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. But the Syrah -- oh the Syrah is fantastic. This is a premium wine varietal that we selected as our first vineyard designate wine. Portteus -- Located in the Rattlesnake Hills of the Columbia Valley, Paul Portteus has one of the original vineyards in the area and some of the best fruit around. I first met Paul when we were making wines in Portland. I called him up in 2000 and said I wanted to drive four and a half hours from Portland to pick 600-pounds of fruit. He thought we were nuts, but said come on up. Paul’s fruit is combined with our red blends in various percentages.
