College Cellars
College Cellars draws from Columbia Valley's warm continental climate and well-drained soils to craft structured red wines. The winery's Cabernet Sauvignon expresses the region's signature dark fruit and mineral character, while La Laurelia Seven Hills Vineyard Red—a Sangiovese—demonstrates the versatility of the appellation's terroir. Summit View Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the portfolio with similar depth and balance. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, recognizing their quality across the range. Columbia Valley's long growing season and diurnal temperature swings allow for full ripeness and acidity retention, hallmarks of Washington's finest reds. College Cellars' focus on Cabernet and Sangiovese reflects both regional strength and the winery's commitment to varietal expression.
