Appellation: Columbia Valley
Planted in 1973, this 660-acre vineyard owned by Chateau Ste. Michelle has a lot of history behind it.
In the notorious winter of 1979, most of the vineyard was lost after a straight month of subfreezing weather. Undaunted, owner U.S. Tobacco replanted to the vineyard - this time ripping the ground several feet down so the roots could grow deep.
