The Yakima Valley AVA grows more than RATTLESNAKE Yakima Valley 47 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 Snipes Mountain gets its name from Ben Snipes, a cattle rancher who built a house there in the 1850s. It's the second smallest appellation in Washington with just 820 of the 5,145 acres planted in over 30 vinifera varieties. 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 with just 2,227 of the 4,040 vineyard acres planted. 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 SIGNATURE EVENTS isiting and tasting in the Yakima Valley is a treat any time of Vthe year, but a weekend trip during one of our Association- sponsored events can be especially memorable.

At its best, wine tends to express feminine qualities. Taste a great wine and you enjoy delicate floral aromas, luscious fruit flavors, elegant textures, and soft tannins.

A B C D E F G H I J 15 CATACLYSMIC EVENTS LEAD TO TRUE TYPICITY

The Yakima Valley AVA was formed by a series of cataclysmic events that began 15 million years ago.

Volcanoes created lava, ash, and volcanic sediment while ice age glaciers and floods brought pebbles, stones, granite, and quartzite to the region. The earthquakes compressed and wrinkled the land creating ridges running east-west. In the terms of wine quality, these historic occurrences translate into soils The 1980 eruption of Mt. St. that allow grapes and wines to be Helens laid down ash deposits to completely true to their varietal the Yakima Valley soils. character, or typicity.

TYPICITY: The degree to which a wine reflects its varietal origins and thus demonstrates the signature characteristics of the grape from which it was produced. Typicity is the standard of the varietal.

Following are three popular wine varietals grown in Washington, and the standard tasting profile of each: Cabernet Sauvignon When choosing a Northwest Cabernet Sauvignon, expect a fruity character from this complex grape. In its youth, the wine appears subtle and restrained. This wine ages beautifully, its character can emerge as black currants, cherry, berry, chocolate, leather, mint, herbs, bell pepper or any combination of these. Syrah The first Syrah grapes in Washington were planted in the Yakima Valley in 1986. Syrah is one of the Rhône varieties sparking great interest in the Valley. A spicy, rich, complex varietal, Syrah grapes turn into big, dark, intensely-concentrated wines with aromas and flavors of blackberries, black currants, roasted coffee and leather. Merlot Plantings of Merlot in the Yakima Valley date back to 1972 when the wine became popular as a single varietal. Merlot is often used as a blending grape as it adds softness, depth, and complexity to the wine.

Pairing food and wine can seem like a daunting task. Summer-time grilling serves up such a wide range of flavors that pairing them with wine can sometimes be a challenge. Because the food may be driven by different flavor accents from a sauce or a spice, each meat could swing from one side of the wine spectrum to the other. Fortunately, the spirit of outdoor dining includes the tendency to serve lighter, less thought- provoking beverages. This simplifies the choice of which wine to put on the table.

Rosé wine has been a wine style that oozes fun and frivolity. Regardless of its color — pink, copper, or anywhere in between — Rosé is a light and easy drinking wine with aromas and flavors of fresh fruit, making it a staple to serve on summer terraces or on long beautiful evenings.

With their combined passion for wine and adventurous spirit, the founding Fof Terra Blanca quickly became a reality. After purchasing virgin land in a desert consisting of sagebrush located on the southwest slopes of what has become recognized as one the world’s great growing regions, Keith and ReNae began development of their Red Mountain vineyard and winery in early 1993. Terra Blanca crushed their first grapes in the autumn of that same year with purchased fruit and crushed their first estate- grown grapes in the fall of 1997. Currently, Terra Blanca has over 100 acres of vines in production with more added each year. Latin for “white earth,” Terra Blanca signifies the white carbonate-rich soils in its estate vineyard. The high-mineral, high-carbonate soils, along with the warm, dry and breezy southwest exposure allows Terra Blanca’s vineyard to produce concentrated grapes with a defined sense of place. Perched on the southwest slope of Red Mountain, Terra Blanca’s Tuscan-inspired architecture includes a beautifully appointed tasting room where you can expect breathtaking panoramic views of the lower Yakima Valley as well as a wine tasting experience like no other.
