From the producer
Founding winery
Waterbrook says its founders opened Walla Walla's fourth bonded winery in 1984, and the winery still sources grapes from the Walla Walla and Columbia valleys in Washington State.
Research status
Where this page is headed
We are checking the current release, the producer record, and the bottle itself. Until that work is complete, this page reports only the facts carried by the dated store feed and shared region and grape research.
Getting to know Columbia Valley.
Columbia Valley is large, dry and internally varied. Its rain-shadow climate and cool nights are useful context, but a statewide-scale AVA never replaces vineyard or subappellation sourcing.
How grapes grow here
The Cascade rain shadow keeps annual precipitation near 6–8 inches across much of the valley. Long summer days and cool nights support ripeness while preserving acidity; irrigation is fundamental.
What lies under the vines
Windblown loess, flood deposits, gravel and basalt-derived material recur across the valley. The broad AVA does not establish one soil for a finished blend.
How large the region is
- Area
- About 11 million acres, with more than 60,000 acres planted to wine grapes in the authority record.
- Riesling context
- Riesling was Washington’s second-largest 2023 variety at 24,357 tons, 15% of the crop.
Places within the region
- Nested places
- Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Horse Heaven Hills and other AVAs sit within the larger Columbia Valley framework.
- Resolution limit
- A Columbia Valley label does not establish a single vineyard, elevation or soil series.
