Alta Cellars

Columbia Valley Cabernet and Syrah with prestige critic recognition.

Alta Cellars produces wines from Columbia Valley, Washington's expansive growing region. The winery focuses on Bordeaux and Rhône varieties suited to the area's warm days and cool nights. Its Cabernet Sauvignon, rated 92 by Wine Enthusiast, anchors the portfolio—a wine built on the region's signature dark fruit and structure. Syrah follows at 90 points, capturing the peppery depth that Shiraz achieves in Washington's continental climate. Cabernet Franc rounds out the core offerings at 89 points, bringing the herbal and mineral notes characteristic of the variety. Columbia Valley's elevation and volcanic soils create conditions for ripe, balanced reds with aging potential. Alta Cellars' lineup reflects the region's capacity for serious, food-friendly wines across the Cabernet family.
