Gard
Gard produces wines from Washington's Columbia Valley, a region defined by its continental climate and deep, well-drained soils. The winery's portfolio centers on bold red varietals suited to the region's growing conditions. Its Malbec achieves notable depth and structure, while the Grand Klasse Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the valley's capacity for ripe, concentrated fruit. Reverence, a Grenache-Viognier-Syrah blend, demonstrates the winery's range across Mediterranean and Rhône-style expressions. Wines from Gard have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting their place within serious wine discourse. Columbia Valley's elevation and diurnal temperature swings create conditions for extended ripening, a characteristic evident in the winery's approach to varietal expression and balance.
