Red Mountain
Red Mountain AVA is Washington state's smallest American Viticultural Area, located in the eastern Yakima Valley near the Tri-Cities. The region is known for its warm, arid climate with significant diurnal temperature shifts, mineral-rich soils, and consistent wind patterns that produce highly concentrated red wines with excellent structure. Red Mountain is particularly celebrated for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, which display intense fruit flavors, firm tannins, and remarkable aging potential.
