Vineyards & growing season

Lady Hawk and Champoux Vineyards are two of the finest vineyards that Washington State has to offer, and both clearly represent the uniqueness of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Lady Hawk, owned and operated by Judi and Paul Champoux, is a very small parcel of land with less than five acres planted, all of which is Cabernet Sauvignon. Luckily there are no other wineries that receive grapes from this meticulously managed vineyard, thus leading to a truly one of a kind wine. Champoux Vineyard, which is located adjacent to Lady Hawk, produces beautifully supple and complex wines, many of which have become the most famous and highest rated to come out of Washington State.

Vineyards & Growing Season

The 2019 growing season started slowly with cool temperatures extending into late spring, but the weather warmed as summer progressed and the vines achieved August veraison dates in keeping with a typical year. As a result of cooler than average temperatures earlier in the season, crops were thinned during the summer. Careful vineyard management helped support even ripening into the fall, a season marked by cooler temperatures yet again. But the grapes enjoyed the added hang-time that allowed the fruit to achieve physiological maturity, resulting in wines notable for their excellent natural acidity, concentration and flavor.

Ciel du Cheval, Obelisco, and Quintessence Vineyards, all located in the Red Mountain AVA, are three of my favorites. These particular vineyards always express the terroir of Red Mountain especially well. The rich soils, dependable air drainage, and limited rainfall result in highly concentrated berries with dense skins, rich inky color, and daring complexity.

Southwind Vineyard

Ciel du Cheval

Lady Hawk

Obelisco

Southwind Vineyard is a high-elevation site located in the Walla Walla AVA just west of Milton-Freewater, OR. The diversity in elevation and soil profiles make it an extremely special place to grow grapes. Our Cabernet Sauvignon from Southwind Vineyard sits at just about 1500 feet elevation with its vines being strained immensely from winds and a lack of soils due to those winds. This section of the vineyard provides fruit with great concentration and very small yields leading to grapes that are destined for complex, age-worthy wines.

First planted in 1975, Ciel du Cheval is located in the heart of Red Mountain and grows some of the most sought after fruit in Washington State. The soil of loam on gravel beds, inhibits vigor which leads to small berries with intense concentration and flavor.

Sitting between 675 and 1025 feet elevation, Quintessence Vineyard receives incredible sun exposure along its southwest-facing slope. With a very strong focus on different clonal plantings, they are growing some of the most complex and unique Cabernet Sauvignon in Washington State.

Planted in 2002, Lady Hawk Vineyard sits in the southern section of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The 4.5 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon grown at this sight are swept by the winds off the Columbia River, allowing longer hang time and more complex fruit.

Obelisco vineyard sits on the Red Mountain AVA and is known for its warm, dry sunny days and cool summer nights. The volcanic, rocky Red Mountain landscape was formed over 10,000 years ago with the Missoula Floods creating a new landscape with rich soil deposits over sand, silt and gravel.
