`
`WESTSIDE DISTRICT
`
`Woodward Canyon Winery
`
`One of Washington’s founding wineries, Woodward Canyon has made its name over the past four decades
`
`with age-worthy cabernet sauvignons and Bordeaux-style blends. Just as notable? The best-in-class
`chardonnay.(cid:96)In 2021, the winery celebrated its 40th anniversary and is currently transitioning to second
`generation ownership.
`
`L’Ecole No 41
`
`Founded in 1983, family owned L’Ecole No. 41 produces a wide range of Columbia Valley and Walla Walla
`
`Valley designated bottles, all bearing a picture of their headquarters, a former schoolhouse. While the red
`
`wines get much of the attention—and they deserve it—the whites are easily their equals. If you can’t make it
`to the winery, a second location pours flights and glasses in the Marcus Whitman Hotel downtown.
`
`L’Ecole’s converted schoolhouse tasting room doubles as a landmark on the drive into town.

`
`Whether you want a six-pack of rosé cans or an exclusive cabernet for $46, Waterbrook’s wines—along with
`
`those at sister tasting rooms Canoe Ridge and Browne Family—span the price spectrum, delivering quality at
`each level.(cid:96)
`
`Long Shadows Vintners
`
`This project from former Chateau Ste. Michelle CEO Allen Shoup brings renowned winemakers from around
`the world to make one release each from Washington fruit. Napa Valley’s Rand Dunn crafts the outrageously
`
`good Feather cabernet sauvignon. Bordeaux’s Michel Rolland offers an unrestrained take on merlot with
`Pedestal. Whoever’s at the helm, the lineup doesn’t miss.(cid:96)
`
`Reininger Winery
`
`There’s something to be said for knowing a place. Tracy Tucker’s family goes back five generations in Walla
`
`Walla Valley. She and her husband Chuck Reininger founded the winery in 1997, one of the first to focus
`exclusively on Walla Walla Valley fruit, then added a second label, Helix, that homes in on Columbia Valley.(cid:96)

`
`Two side projects from Rôtie Cellars’ owner/winemaker Sean Boyd share an airy space downtown. House of
`Bones is a chardonnay-focused project in partnership with co-winemaker Kevin Masterman. Meanwhile,
`Proper focuses exclusively on a single vineyard in the Rocks District.(cid:96)
`
`Gramercy Cellars
`
`Master sommelier Greg Harrington left behind a restaurant career to come to Walla Walla and make wines
`
`that “taste like dirt” (read: earthy). But you can still sense that restaurant background in his lower oak, lower
`
`alcohol wines—clearly meant for the dinner table. These are some of the best wines in the state, with
`distinctly high acidity.(cid:96)

`
`The Best Wineries in Walla Walla, Washington | 2021 | Seattle Met
`
`Walla Walla is known for wine and (a little more quietly) its large foundry, dedicated to creating large-scale
`
`sculptures from local and international artists. Mark and Patty Anderson, who started the Foundry, brought
`this same vision to their winery, which includes a sculpture garden as well as exhibitions—all paired with
`wines made from fruit sourced throughout the state.(cid:96)
`
`The Walls
`
`This winery offers both Rocks District savory reds and cutting-edge Red Mountain wines, with grape
`
`varieties that digress from cabernet norms. Taste, for instance, the touriga naçional and souzão based Stanley
`Groovy.(cid:96)
`
`Corliss Estate
`
`Corliss makes a commitment few wineries in Washington can match: Vintages see extended time in the
`
`barrel and in the bottle before release. These are cult wines, made in a rich, luxurious style. They’re ready to
`drink when released, but are built for the long haul.(cid:96)(See also: sister winery Tranche in the Eastside District.)
`
`Seven Hills Winery
`
`Since 1988, Seven Hills has focused on making wines more reserved than the Washington norm. It’s now
`
`owned by California giant Crimson Wine Group. Longtime assistant winemaker Bobby Richards recently took
`
`over from founders Casey and Vicky McClellan, and continues to produce some of the state’s best and longest
`
`lived Bordeaux-style wines.

`
`Elephant Seven
`
`Don’t be fooled by the whimsical label—an elephant floating away with a snout full of red balloons. Elephant
`Seven produces serious wines driven by fruit purity and simplicity. Several hail from Yellow Bird Vineyard, a
`site that highlights some excellent grenache and syrah in a part of Walla Walla known for cabernets.(cid:96)
`
`Forgeron Cellars
`
`You can get various Forgeron wines from the Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, and larger Columbia Valley.
`
`But it’s always hung its hat on understated chardonnay and syrah, with the latter coming from the ever-
`excellent Boushey Vineyard.(cid:96)

`
`Spring Valley Vineyard
`
`Part of the Ste. Michelle Wine Estates family, this winery deftly explores an area of the valley northeast of
`
`downtown, where few else have planted. The wines, all reds, except a rosé and a viognier, find something
`
`special there, like the mixture of red fruit and savory herb displayed in the exceptional, merlot-heavy Uriah.
`
`Lawrelin Wine Cellars
`
`This side project from longtime Washington winemaker Kendall Mix is genuinely singular, releasing wines
`
`that already have 10 to 15 years aging in the bottle. The winery takes care of all patient cellaring: You just get
`glorious cabernets and syrahs in their prime.(cid:96)
`
`Kontos Cellars
`
`Second-generation winemaker and sixth-generation Walla Wallan Cameron Kontos and his brother Chris
`make power-packed red wines, with generous fruit and plentiful oak spicing.(cid:96)
`
`Time and Direction Wines
`
`Winemaker Steve Wells left the East Coast and moved to Walla Walla Valley to make wine. He made the
`
`right choice, never getting in the way of his wines’ ample fruit intensity and balance. A number of the Time
`and Direction bottles focus on fruit from the Royal Slope, an area of the Columbia Valley that is quickly
`
`becoming one of Washington’s top syrah locations.
`
`Morell Family Wines
`
`Aryn Morell built an outsized imprint in Washington, previously overseeing winemaking for several top-tier
`
`producers. Here, with his own brand, he creates everything from a shockingly good sauvignon blanc to a
`knockout malbec-dominant blend.(cid:96)Other Morell labels(cid:96) —Alleromb, Morell-Peña, the Royal Bull—are all
`worth checking out.
`
`Charles Smith Wines
`
`Charles Smith built an empire making top quality wines across the price spectrum for his various brands,
`including K Vintners, Substance, Sixto, and Casa Smith. The winery’s Walla Walla tasting room is a
`
`converted auto repair shop and brings the vibe that has made the winery so successful.

`Cellars, Efeste, and Cadaretta. Now at his own winery founded with his wife Kelsey, he takes things to a new

`
`Established by a family with a 130-year winemaking history in Spain, Valdemar offers a visitor experience
`
`few in the valley can match, with expansive views of the Blue Mountains, exceptional Spanish tapas, outdoor
`seating, and water features. In July 2021, the winery announced itself as Washington’s (and perhaps the
`
`country’s) first “100% inclusive and accessible” tasting room, complete with tasting cards for low-vision
`
`visitors, braille menus, QR codes that lead to signed and spoken wine descriptions.

`
`A sibling to nearby Pepper Bridge Winery, Amavi offers outdoor seating, sweeping views of the Blue
`Mountains, and cabernet sauvignon, syrah, and sémillon, many of which you can pick up for $25–$33.(cid:96)
`
`Saviah Cellars
`
`Don’t tell affable owner and winemaker Richard Funk nice guys finish last. In his 20 years in business, Funk
`has moved Saviah to the head of the pack, with a broad selection of well-priced wines, especially elegant
`
`syrahs and Bordeaux-style blends. The winery’s the Jack label, with wines from $15–$25, provides an
`unbeatable value.(cid:96)

`
`People might come to Sleight of Hand for co-owner, winemaker, and audiophile Trey Busch’s extensive vinyl
`
`and rock poster collection, now displayed in a recently remodeled tasting room. But they stay for the wines,
`such as the Psychedelic Syrah (as black olivey as a good tapenade) and the white peach and lime filled
`
`Magician Riesling.
`
`Canvasback Winery
`
`The Washington label for Napa Valley luxury brand Duckhorn Vineyards, Canvasback emphasizes cabernet
`
`sauvignon from its Red Mountain vineyard. But it also makes limited amounts of syrah and cabernet from
`Walla Walla Valley as well as a fine counterpoint to those rich reds: a bone-dry, lip-smacking, high-acid
`riesling.(cid:96)
`
`Va Piano Vineyards
`
`Set in the middle of its estate vineyard and surrounded by undulating hills, Va Piano is wine country as you
`imagine it: captivating vistas and commanding wines.(cid:96)
`
`Pepper Bridge Winery
`
`Majestic views of the Blue Mountains? Yup. Refined, structured, ageable red wines from estate vineyards,
`such as highly regarded Pepper Bridge and Seven Hills? Absolutely.(cid:96)

`
`While this winery, part of the Chateau Ste. Michelle family, now serves red and white wines from

`
`Blue Mountains, you’ll find a showcase for Washington merlot’s potential in the Columbia and Walla Walla
`valleys.(cid:96)
`
`Tertulia Cellars
`
`Tertulia has long made intriguing Rocks District wines. But its Elevation Vineyard wines take things to, yes,
`
`another level. This higher elevation site has a long growing season, which creates lower alcohol wines with a
`whole lot of acid and tannin structure.(cid:96)

`
`Rasa Vineyards
`
`Brothers Billo and Pinto Naravane left behind tech jobs to make wine. Billo, who serves as winemaker,
`
`followed up degrees from MIT and Stanford University with an MS in viticulture and enology from Stanford
`
`and an elite degree from the Institute of Masters of Wine. This is not an academic footnote: The wines are
`ecstatically meticulous. If you want to take tasting notes, bring graph paper.(cid:96)
`
`Doubleback Winery
`
`This winery, founded by local boy turned star NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe and his wife, Maura, occupies a
`reconstructed barn-style building. That may sound like a rural-chic vanity project, but Doubleback uses
`
`estate vineyards to put out exceptional cabernet sauvignon. Sister winery Bledsoe Family Wines in
`downtown Walla Walla offers more range, from syrah to chardonnay.
`
`Grosgrain Vineyards
`
`In a state known for its decadent reds, Matt and Kelly Austin’s winery champions “underdog” varieties in a
`reserved style: a lemberger pet-nat, a particularly vigorous albariño. The reds are light and nimble. In just a
`
`few short years, Grosgrain has expanded the idea of what Washington wine can be. The stylish tasting room
`
`includes outdoor seating by one of the winery’s estate vineyards.

`Lewis Vineyard offerings—all worth it.(cid:96)
`
`Buty Winery
`
`Over the years, Buty has dedicated itself largely to savory red blends from estate vineyards in Walla Walla

`
`Prospice Wines
`
`Owners and winemakers Jay Krutulis and Matt Reilly left behind law and architecture careers respectively to

`study winemaking at Walla Walla Community College. They found kinship there and decided to start a winery

`cabernet sauvignon. While Leonetti is not open to the public, a careful eye will find bottles in Walla Walla
`and Seattle restaurants.(cid:96)
`
`Tranche Estate
`
`Located in its estate Blue Mountain Vineyard, Tranche’s winery presents grapevined and mountainous
`vistas. Luckily, what’s in the glass doesn’t disappoint either: consistently delicious Bordeaux- and Rhône-style
`wines.(cid:96)
`
`Tranche’s estate vineyard is also home to the tasting room.

`
`College Cellars of Walla Walla
`
`College Cellars is the teaching winery for Walla Walla Community College’s viticulture and enology
`
`program, where budding winegrowers and winemakers learn their skills. In the glass that means wild
`experimentation and innovation—like a white wine released about a month after bottling.(cid:96)

`
`The Best Wineries in Walla Walla, Washington | 2021 | Seattle Met
`
`Abeja has one of Walla Walla Valley’s most charming locations, on a century-old restored farmstead. The
`wines match—venerated grapes, like cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, vinted with energy.

`Walla Walla Vintners
`
`This valley stalwart in the obscenely scenic Upper Mill Creek area changed ownership in 2017 but has
`continued doing its thing. While luscious, ripe Bordeaux- and Rhône- style reds remain the focal points, a
`mouthwatering rosé and the winery’s first-ever white wine, a sauvignon blanc, offer a nice swerve.(cid:96)
`
`àMaurice Cellars
`
`This winery’s setting in the Upper Mill Creek area is among the prettiest in the valley. Winemaker Anna
`Schafer has made her name on viognier and malbec, but the whole lineup is a delight.(cid:96)

`
`The Best Wineries in Walla Walla, Washington | 2021 | Seattle Met
`
`Chris Figgins’s parents founded the first winery in the valley, Leonetti Cellar. His own, Figgins, takes an old-
`
`world approach—focusing on a single vineyard per bottling. The two red wines offer dense flavors and firm,
`
`brawny tannins, while the riesling pays tribute to the first wine the family made.
`
`Reynvaan Family Vineyards
`
`This cult winery works only with fruit from its estate vineyards in the Rocks District and in the relatively
`
`unexplored foothills of the Blue Mountains. The wines capture that area so singularly (black pepper!) that
`fans will know them with a whiff. Mailing list only but well worth seeking out.(cid:96)(cid:96)
`
`Methods:(cid:96)To compile this list, Sean P. Sullivan selected wineries based on the overall quality of their wines, focusing on
`those(cid:96)that are(cid:96)local to that area, versus satellite tasting rooms for a winery located elsewhere.(cid:96)
