Jones of Washington draws from the Wahluke Slope, a distinctive pocket of Columbia Valley known for its warm days, cool nights, and well-draining soils. The winery focuses on Rhône and Bordeaux varieties suited to the region's continental climate. Its Malbec and Petit Verdot both achieve 90-point averages from prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. A Syrah rounds out the portfolio at 89.3 points. These dark-skinned varieties thrive in Wahluke Slope's intense sunlight and moderate rainfall, developing the structure and ripeness that define Washington's southern vineyard sites. The winery's selection reflects a deliberate commitment to grapes that express the terroir's mineral backbone and concentrated fruit.
