Estate-grown wines shaped by sun-drenched hills and the breath of the Columbia Valley — each vintage a conversation between earth and sky.
Ciel du Cheval Vineyard sits on the eastern slopes of the Columbia Valley, where the air is dry, the sunlight is relentless, and the ancient riverbed soil tells a story millions of years in the making. Here, vines struggle just enough to produce fruit of extraordinary concentration.
Our philosophy is simple: let the land speak. We farm with intention, harvest by hand, and age each lot with the kind of quiet attention that cannot be rushed. The result is wine that carries the full weight of its origin — bold, layered, and unmistakably Washington.
Each expression reflects a different facet of our terroir — from the structured power of our flagship red to the luminous brightness of our white.

Deep garnet with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and dark chocolate. Layers of ripe plum and graphite unfold on the palate, supported by firm, refined tannins. A wine built for the long term.
Estate grown · Columbia Valley
Velvety and expressive, with notes of black cherry, mocha, and a whisper of violet. The mid-palate is lush yet structured, finishing with a clean, lingering warmth that speaks of our sunny slopes.

Pale gold with an elegant nose of white peach, toasted almond, and a hint of wet stone. Crisp acidity carries through a creamy, textured palate to a long, saline finish.
