Wine Yakima Valley @YakimaAVA Wine Yakima Valley Cover & this page: © Richard Duval Images GROWN TO GREATNESS Exploring the complexity and diversity of Yakima Valley’s rich cornucopia of wine. All photos this page: © Richard Duval Images The Yakima Valley AVA grows more than RATTLESNAKE Yakima Valley 45 wine grapes varieties. The success HILLS Appellation of this diversity can be attributed to the many different growing aspects within the AVA. The micro climates, heat variations, SNIPES and different soil types within the three Yakima MOUNTAIN RED MOUNTAIN Valley sub AVAs — Rattlesnake Hills, Snipes Mountain & Red Mountain — play a major role in successfully growing so many grape varieties. RATTLESNAKE HILLS AVA Rattlesnake Hills, located around the town of Zillah, is named after the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake that inhabits the area. Rattlesnake Hills is almost evenly split between red and white wine grapes, with reds having a slight edge. Riesling is a dominant white grape in this region producing wines with aromas and flavors of lime, lemon, and green apple. Other sites in the appellation offer flavors with a little more stone fruit, particularly peach. SNIPES MOUNTAIN AVA The second smallest appellation in Washington at 4,145 acres, Snipes Mountain gets its name from Ben Snipes, a cattle rancher who built a house there in the 1850s. There are more than 700 acres planted in over 30 vinifera varieties, with Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon the most planted. Fruit from this AVA offer unique aromas and flavors which have made it desirable for winemakers to identify it as a Snipes Mountain-designated wine. RED MOUNTAIN AVA The Red Mountain AVA is located on the far eastern side of the Yakima Valley. It is the smallest appellation in Washington state — just 4,040 acres of the Yakima Valley Valley’s 17,000 total vineyard acres. Cheatgrass, a plant that grows naturally in the region, turns bright red in early spring giving Red Mountain its name. The nearby Yakima River moderates temperatures and provides continual airflow, guarding against frost. Celebrating Our Founders he Yakima Valley Founders' program commemorates the founders of the Yakima Valley Twine industry and its legacy within Washington state. It's an opportunity to celebrate the success of the dream these visionaries had of creating one of the world's most prestigious wine growing regions. When you see these logos, know that the winemaker or grower involved with the business has been active and instrumental in the Yakima Valley wine industry for 25 years or longer. 2 © Richard Duval Images SIGNATURE EVENTS isiting and tasting in the Yakima Valley Vis a treat any time of the year, but a weekend trip during one of our Association- sponsored events can be especially memorable.

The primary vintages were sourced wines from the Columbia Valley AVA. Hedges Cellars, as it was called, created the first commerical wine blend for sale from WA State. After three years, Tom (born in Richland, WA) and Anne-Marie Hedges (born in Champagne, France), moved from a sourced fruit model to an Estate Grown model, by purchasing land in WA States’ most coveted terroir: The Red Mountain AVA. Soon after, Hedges Cellars became Hedges Family Estate, when their son Christophe joined in 2001. Shortly after, their daughter Sarah joined in 2006 and became head winemaker in 2015.

    2020 SANGIOVESE ROSÉ Airfield Estates is a fourth generation family farm based in the Yakima Valley cultivating a wide range of premium grapes and crafting estate grown wines of exceptional quality. As the name suggests, Airfield Estates has ties to aviation. A portion of the family property operated as a training base for hundreds of Army Air Corps pilots during World War II. The pride, passion, and dedication of these heroes provide a great source of inspiration as we strive to pay tribute to them with our wines. VINEYARD Established in 1968, our estate vineyard was one of the first commercial vineyards in Washington State. Our first plantings were Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the years, we have expanded to over 20 varieties spanning approximately 830 acres. Nestled on the foothills of the Rattlesnake Mountains in the heart of the Yakima Valley AVA, our vineyard has one of the most spec- tacular views of Mount Rainier and Mount Adams. These sunny slopes are blessed with a long growing period, extended summer daylight, and cool evenings that yield well-balanced, world‐class wines. VINTAGE The 2020 vintage will go down as a very memorable year. The growing season was exceptional with a mild winter, warm spring, and moderate summer. Bud break occurred 2 weeks earlier than normal and veraison was well ahead of schedule too. Just as we were preparing for an early start to harvest, wildfires in the Northwest created a thick cloud of smoke over Washington State. Concerns arose about exposure to smoke. Taking a cautious approach, we delayed harvest until the smoke cleared and conducted trials to determine the effect of smoke on our grapes.

    BONAIR WINERY Gail and Shirley Puryear “Experience the Dream” BW-WA-121 Phone 509.829.6027 Fax 509.829.6510 OWNERS: Gail and Shirley fell in love with wine (and each other) as college exchange students in the wine country of Chile in 1967. After graduating from Washington State University, they moved to Southern California. It didn’t take them long to discover the wine country of California. Careers and children intervened for the next nine years, but in his spare time Gail read wine books, made wine, and taught wine appreciation courses. In 1979 the family moved back to their native Yakima Valley and purchased the five acres that is now the location of the original estate vineyards, the hospitality center, and the winery. They planted the chardonnay and cabernet vineyard and sold the grapes to Quail Run Winery. Not satisfied with just growing the grapes, they decided to jump into the fledging Washington Wine industry and bonded the winery in 1985. Their family and friends felt sorry for them because they thought that no one would find a winery at the end of a dusty country road. Shirley quit her teaching job in 1987 to work the vineyards and tasting room. Gail quit his job as elementary school principal in 1992 to devote his winemaking skills full time to the winery. Bonair Winery now encompasses 35 acres of prime vineyards in the heart of the Rattlesnake Hills AVA. A state of the art winemaking facility and a beautiful new hospitality center with spacious picnic areas are open year round.
  • 2016 Estate Red Mountain Syrah

    2016 Estate Red Mountain Syrah

    VINEYARDS 2016 ESTATE RED MOUNTAIN SYRAH RED MOUNTAIN ORIGINALS In 1975 our family planted the first vineyard on Red Mountain, an area now known for producing some of the world’s most powerful, opulent wines of distinction. For three generations we’ve worked side by side, hand in hand to craft exciting, vineyard-driven wines that capture the essence of Red Mountain. VINEYARD PROFILE Legendary Washington vineyard guru Dick Boushey famously proclaimed that “syrah loves a view,” and that’s exactly what Sunset Bench vineyard oers. It’s located higher on the hill than many of our other plantings, resulting in superb air/water drainage, dramatic diurnal temperature swings, and ample heat accumulation. WINE PROFILE Syrah from Red Mountain is prized for producing wines of profound concentration, color, and character. Elevage in a gentle french oak program ensures gorgeous fruit and ample minerality are preserved in bottle. Expect deep color and a lengthy finish; this is a remarkable wine. Mourvèdre in the blend adds aromatics, savories, and com- plexity. VINTAGE NOTES STATISTICS The 2016 vintage started early, with VINEYARD SOURCES // temperatures in the triple digits in May.
