Gilbert Cellars
Gilbert Cellars produces wines from Columbia Valley, Washington's premier growing region. The winery focuses on Syrah and Carménère, varieties that thrive in the region's warm days and cool nights. The Stewart Vineyard Syrah and Chukar Carménère represent the core of the portfolio, both earning recognition from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. Syrah from the region displays the dark fruit and peppery structure characteristic of the variety, while Carménère—a Bordeaux grape finding new expression in Washington—brings ripe plum and herbal complexity. The winery's focus on these two varieties reflects Columbia Valley's capacity for producing age-worthy red wines with depth and balance.
