Vineyard List

Estate

Sconni Block was planted in 2001 and is named in honor of our Wisconsin roots. It is an 11 acre Bordeaux vineyard situated on the Washington side of the Walla Walla Valley floor. The wines made from Sconni grapes are the biggest, darkest and most structured wines in our portfolio. They are typically the backbone of our Bordeaux style wines.

Minnick Hills was planted in 1999-2001 and lies north of Walla Walla. It is our coolest and highest elevation vineyard. It is a 30 acre vineyard planted primarily to Bordeaux varietals and a little Syrah. Affectionately dubbed “The Velvet Hammer” for its dark fruit and graceful structure, Minnick Hills lies on a beautiful sun drenched southwest facing slope. This vineyard is leased from the Minnick family, one of Walla Walla’s original pioneering families.

Birch Creek was planted in 1997-2005 and is situated on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley. This 30 acre warm site lends a feminine quality and tends to show brighter fruit and perfume. Birch Creek is primarily Bordeaux varietals and Syrah and is farmed for Jim and Regina Vandersloot.

Stoney Vine was planted in 2007 and lies on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley in the world famous “rocks” just outside of Milton Freewater. Formed by the ancient bed of the Walla Walla River, this 17 acre vineyard sits atop an alluvial fan comprised of rounded basalt river cobble. Stoney Vine is planted primarily to Rhone and Mediterranean varietals that deliver complex, honest wines that allow you to taste their true origin. Dusted Valley is proud to have harvested our first crop from this vineyard in fall 2010.

Non-Estate

Lonesome Springs Ranch is located just west of Benton city in the Yakima Valley and owned by our good friend and fellow “Cheese Head,” Colin Morrell. It is the source of our vineyard designate Squirrel Tooth Alice Rhone Blend. Squirrel Tooth, with its bright perfumed fruit and generous palate, epitomize this stellar vineyard. Lonesome Springs is situated on a broken basalt bench covered by shallow well drained soils on a lazy south facing slope.

Stone Tree is on the Wahluke Slope and will soon be known as one of top vineyards in the state. We source a little bit of literally everything from this vineyard and it never disappoints. Stone Tree is owned and operated by Washington maverick, Ted Wildman.
