Guardian

Columbia Valley Shiraz, Merlot, and Chardonnay with prestige critic recognition.

Guardian produces wines from Columbia Valley, Washington's expansive growing region. The winery focuses on three core expressions: The Informant, a Shiraz that channels the region's ripe fruit intensity; Confidential Source, a Merlot built on the varietal's structure and depth; and Entrapment, a Chardonnay. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have both assessed Guardian's portfolio, with The Informant and Confidential Source earning particular recognition among the three flagship releases. Columbia Valley's warm days and cool nights create conditions suited to both Rhône and Bordeaux varieties, and Guardian's selections reflect that terroir—wines with the ripeness and balance the region is known to deliver.
