Named for the sparkling waters that nourish the sun-drenched Columbia Valley in Eastern Washington, Sol Duc believes that great wines begin in the vineyard and, for that reason, all the grapes are grown at Goose Ridge, a distinguished private estate. A Bordeux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec, Sol Duc Meritage benefits from the long, warm summer days and significantly cooler nights of the Columbia Valley. Winemaker Charlie Hoppes takes special care identifying favorite blocks for preferential care throughout the growing season, creating an exceptionally well-balanced, full-bodied red wine.
