Descendant Cellars

Washington reds from Rhône and Bordeaux varieties, rated by major critics.

Descendant Cellars produces red wines from Washington that have drawn attention from major critics. The winery's portfolio centers on Rhône and Bordeaux varieties. Les Collines Vineyard Syrah, a wine of structure and depth, has been rated by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. The Grenache offers the aromatic, fruit-forward character typical of the variety, while Les Collines Vineyard Malbec brings the dark fruit and tannin profile the grape is known for. Each wine reflects the volcanic soils and continental climate of Washington, where temperature swings between day and night intensify varietal expression. The winery's focus on single-vineyard and varietal bottlings demonstrates a commitment to terroir-driven winemaking in a region increasingly recognized for its capacity to age complex reds.
