Red Mountain American Viticultural Area is widely regarded as among Washington State's premier growing environments. Located between Richland, WA and Benton CIty, WA, Red Mountain is Washington's smallest AVA at only 4040 acres--yet produces the state's most highly-prized and distinctive red wines.

The secret lies in the terrior. With a unique combination of southwest-facing slope, climate, weather and soil conditions, Red Mountain AVA supports precision viticulture. Warm daytime temperatures are moderated by cooling breezes from the Yakima river; sharply cooler nighttime temperatures preserve acid levels in the grapes.

Result: deep, distinctive red wines with strength, richness and exceptional balance. In high demand with vintners, grapes from Red Mountain routinely fetch prices well above market rate.

Red Mountain is home to a growing number of prestigious wineries, including:

• Col Solare Winery
• Hedges Family Estate Winery
• Klipsun Vineyards
• Kiona Vineyards Winery
• Terra Blanca Vineyards
