The appellation is defined by mountain ranges to the North, West and South, and by the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers. Much of the area is considered a desert, making irrigation almost a necessity. The region is faced with hot days and extremely low temperatures at night. Cabernet Sauvignon is prominently planted in the area, but the short growing season imbues a grassy flavor that is unappealling to the American palate. Chardonnay and Merlot are more successful, with many a winegeek favoring Washington Merlot over other American Merlot. Cabernet Franc, Limberger, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Viognier are also planted here in lesser quantities. Columbia Valley contains four AVAs: Columbia Gorge, Red Mountain, Walla Walla Valley and Yakima Valley.\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com\/images?q\\u003dtbn:ANd9GcSfskCA4MF3LCZ3GNgMEPiFU1fdbEHDZ-fNeEfv8wzG1X7tHoU91WufJ1YYmpfUrerDXum5Xo047gf3nkE\u0026quot;,null,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com\/faviconV2?url\\u003dhttps:\/\/winegeeks.com\\u0026client\\u003dAIM\\u0026size\\u003d128\\u0026type\\u003dFAVICON\\u0026fallback_opts\\u003dTYPE,SIZE,URL\u0026quot;,[[1785273368123405,19941819,51161128],null,null,null,null,[[0,12]]],null,\u0026quot;421808e6-93e8-478e-b40c-7ef0433ea648\u0026quot;]]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, a massive, sun-drenched growing region spanning Eastern Washington and Oregon that is defined by its arid desert conditions and ancient volcanic soils. While Lady Hill Winery vinifies this vintage at their estate in Oregon's Willamette Valley, they deliberately source these grapes from pioneering Washington growers—like Slide Mountain Vineyard—to harness the region's intense high-desert heat and drastic night-time cooling. This unique climate minimizes the harsh vegetal or bell pepper notes often found in cooler-climate iterations of the grape, yielding a much more graceful and fruit-forward expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lady Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43866151321674,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/4894\/6506\/files\/LadyHillCabernetFranc2018.jpg?v=1785273666","url":"https:\/\/www.thewlist.shop\/products\/lady-hill-cabernet-franc-2018-750ml","provider":"Intrade Logistics, Corp.
