EQUINOX RIDGE ESTATE VINEYARD

Walla Walla Valley

Our Estate Cabernet Franc vineyard, Equinox Ridge, grows in the foothills of the Blues in Walla Walla and we are lucky to be able to watch the growth and evolution of the wine from beginning to the finished wine in the bottle. This wine gives us the opportunity to control every part of the process and put our full might into the bottle. Labor of love is what got this wine to where it is today and it will be for years to come.

Why We Love It

We love everything about our only Estate Vineyard.  Its natural beauty is equaled only by the world-class Cabernet Franc grapes that we carefully cultivate from its 10+ year-old vines. The long growing season at Equinox Ridge combined with its eastern exposure provides for the perfect place for this noble varietal.
